Hopefully Otto can comment, but i've got a few quick questions: - I don't think the password is ever actually required to start the shell -- just to connect to databases - The authentication and authorization of mysql/mariadb is complicated, it's easy to have multiple accounts with same username but different hosts that require different authentication methods, etc. It's hard to find comprehensive documentation but this looks like a good start: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/create-user/ - So what may be valid when connecting via a unix domain socket may not work via tcp or vice-versa. Are you sure you're trying to connect in the way you expect?
