Well yeah, that's sort of true. I have one user 'root'@'localhost' and one 'root'@'chestnut.ercbroadband.org'. Pretty much what you are describing. Still doesn't help much. The passwords are the same.


I think the problem you are having is not with mysql at all but rather the 
zenoss install. According to
http://lists.zenoss.org/pipermail/zenoss-users/2007/012312.html
The zenoss install will ask you for the mysql root password at which time you 
give it and all is well with the world.

It doesn't from the RPM I built.  I can probably fix that, though.

But, I DID find the reason why I can't get things working like it should. The problem is due to my new root password. According to a couple of posts on MYSQL's forums, I /should/ be able to login automatically with the /root/.my.cnf file (assuming it's correct). HOWEVER, if a password has a '#' in it, it will NOT work because mysql sees that as a comment character and it won't pass the full password to the system.

And as my new pwd HAS a #, this is why it's a problem.

I do want to thank everyone for all the suggestions. Maybe this will keep someone else from getting a migraine searching for the answer I just dug up.
