The problem has to do with the option --defaults-extra-file, if you change it to just --defaults-file it works fine:
This works: #mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf extended-status This does not: # mysqladmin --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf extended-status mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' Micah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
