I have installed the mysql323-server port before and I'm sure I followed the 
same procedure this time...except, when I try to create a password for the 
root user, I get:

	# mysqladmin -u root -password "[password]"

	mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
	error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

I'm fairly new to MySQL so I'm not sure how to interpret this. It looks as 
though, by default, root isn't getting admin access, but I don't understand 
why this should be.

No doubt I'm overlooking something obvious. Suggestions appreciated!

Thanks.

M.
