Now I'm getting:
mysql_att> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password '***'
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
The documentation on Access_denied does say:
If you get an error like the following:
shell> mysqladmin -u root -pxxxx ver
Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
It means that you are using a wrong password. See section 4.3.6
Setting Up Passwords. If you have forgot the root password, you can
restart mysqld with --skip-grant-tables to change the password.
But that's not quite the same command I used, and that's got password
YES. And mind you, this is what I'm doing right after the
mysql_install_db script and starting up the safe_mysqld for the first
time. So of *course* there's no password.
Spinning away,
