I have recently installed RedHat 8 and the following RPMs:

        [root@chimp etc]# rpm -q mysql
        mysql-3.23.52-3

        [root@chimp etc]# rpm -q mysql-server
        mysql-server-3.23.52-3

I am having problems connecting to the server remotely through the TCP
connection, the firewall is completely disabled:

njc2@hilton njc2/mysql/bin> mysqladmin -h chimp.battlemonkey.net -p
version
Enter password: 
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'chimp.battlemonkey.net' failed
error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' 

I can connect fine from the localhost to the socket:

[root@chimp etc]# mysqladmin version -p
Enter password: 
mysqladmin  Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.52, for pc-linux-gnu on i686

This is the first part of /etc/my.cnf.

#password       = your_password
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

# Here follows entries for some specific programs

# The MySQL server
[mysqld]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

set-variable    = key_buffer=16M
set-variable    = max_allowed_packet=1M
set-variable    = table_cache=64
set-variable    = sort_buffer=512K
set-variable    = net_buffer_length=8K
set-variable    = myisam_sort_buffer_size=8M
log-bin
server-id       = 1

Could it be something to do with the startup/stop script because I
noticed something else odd. The script works for starting the daemon:

[root@chimp etc]# /sbin/service mysqld start
Starting MySQL:                                            [  OK  ]

But not for stopping it:

[root@chimp etc]# /sbin/service mysqld stop
Stopping MySQL:                                            [FAILED]

I can only stop the daemon with:

[root@chimp etc]# mysqladmin -p shutdown

Thanks in advance,
