chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
(as root or using sudo), then try mysqladmin again.

Ok, I have installed MySQL many times and have never come across this...
when try to run
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
I get the following
./bin/mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Table 'user' is read only'
I've never had this happen, and unfortunately do not know enough about
read/write perms on tables to try to debug it.
I promise that I'll study up on it, but right now I'm kinda of in rush...
I'm using : mysql-standard-4.0.18-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz
thanks!
