I downloaded the latest MariaDB binary and installed that. Now I can set a root password and access MySQL succssfully, but rdadmin can't. It says "unable to connect to MySQL."

telnet localhost 3306 gets me something, so I know the server is running. I have rd.conf set up properly, so that's not the problem.

Now, the new MariaDB doesn't seem to come with a my.cnf file; there are no references to it in the installation instructions, so it must be looking for configuration parameters somewhere else. I wonder where...

If you’re trying to use utf8mb4, there are going to be a number of problems
with the Rivendell schema.  You should use latin1.

However, the fact that even the basic DB connection authentication is broken
in the ‘mysql’ database tells me that there is something fundamentally
foobar with that MariaDB package.
