After a simple make install in mysql-server I did this:

--------------------------------------
bash-2.05b# /etc/rc.d/mysqld start
Starting mysqld.
bash-2.05b# mysqldump -A >backupdump.sql
mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) when trying to connect
bash-2.05b# cd /var/mysql/
bash-2.05b# cat test2.testsystem.com.err

--------------------------------------

Am I doing something wrong or are those directories not chowned to the correct
user on install?
