On page 4 (at the bottom) of the CentOS 4.3 (64-bit) setup I run: mysqladmin -u root password XXXPWDXXX -no problem, but then run mysqladmin -h XXXHOSTNAMEXXX -u root password XXXPWDXXX -and get the folowing error: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' I'm a Linux newb, could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks -Chuck

Falko, thanks so much for your help. After playing around with it a bit I have gotten it working as desired. -Chuck
