I have just installed latest version of MySQL on
RedHat 8 and am trying to get mysqladmin to run. I
have run the mysql_install_db and set the root and
host passwords. I am able to log in to regular mysql
ok and issue commands. But whenever I try to use
mysqladmin to check version status etc. I get this
error:
mysqladmin version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
(Using password: NO)'

I have tried everything I can think of including
'mysqladmin -u root', 'mysqladmin -u root -p' and
various other flavors and still the same error. I have
tried setting the password from within mysql and
checked the mysql database for users and everything is
there. I have checked documentation and can't find
anything that addresses this. What am I missing?
