They've been doing that for the past 2 or 3 releases now. You have to edit that config file to reactivate TCP connections to the mysql server. Search on the web for Mandriva, mysql and tcp, you should be able to find which file is the one that needs to be changed. I stopped using MDV 2 years ago now, os I don't remember exactly which file.
