Newbie help needed with mysql : part II

[john]

Ok.. I got the /etc/my.cnf under control, but now when I do this:

root@rock:/etc# mysqladmin -u root -h rock password *****
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'rock' failed
error: 'Host 'rock.biohazard.org' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'

Then I tried this:

root@rock:/etc# mysqladmin create testDB
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

in /etc/group, I added root and my user john to the mysql group.. but that did not help.

If there is something in the manual, please point it out to me, so I can figure this mess out.

Thanks a million

John
