Subject: ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database
'mysql'



Howdy all,

I keep getting this error when I try to issue:
mysql mysql -u root -p

the same thing happens when I substitute any other database name, not just
mysql.  I have another,nearly identical machine from which I copied the
contents of /var/lib/mysql/mysql/ .  The permissions all appear to be fine.
This is a new problem, it started after I changed the firewall settings to
activate port 3306.. don't know if that's what caused this somehow.

Oddly enough, I can access the database from a remote machine with no
problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.
