Here's the output I get only as a user to mysql but not logging in as
root:
Script started on Fri Jun 6 14:09:06 2003
dashielljt@jude:~$ mysql -u das dashielljt -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
dashielljt@jude:~$ exit

The user so far as mysql is concerned was created by root and exists with
a specific password before I tried rebooting the computer and running thie
command you see in this script.
I would like to be able to run mysql as a user and not only be restricted
to running it as root for security reasons. Any help much appreciated.
