I downloaded and compiled the latest version of MySQLGUI and am connecting
to MySQL 3.22.32 on OpenBSD. When I try to tunnel MySQLGUI through the
following ssh tunnel:

         ssh -x -g -L 3306:localhost:3306 mysql

I get this error message from the MySQLGUI client:

        Can't connect to local MySQL server through \
        socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)

What does this mean? At first glance, it looks like an X Windows error.
I don't have X running on the MySQL server; only on the remote. Could
this be the problem? That wouldn't really make sense; why would the client
require X services from the database host?

If it's something else, how can I fix it? Why can't I connect? I'm really
frustrated.
