Mysql install procedure creates grant tables, in which access is granted to root@localhost simply. So, either hack mysql install scripts and make them to use 'localhost.mui.net' instead of simple 'localhost', or make your DNS server to resolve 127.0.0.1 as localhost >I installed mysql, but now it sez: > >access denied for user: 'root@localhost.mui.net' (using password: >NO).
