Hi

I have what i think is a strange issue -

All my users are NIS users and they can access this box fine. I have a MySQL server running on this box that is running fine. The OS 'root' user can authenticate and use MySQL fine as this is not a NIS user e.g.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql -u bugs -pxxxx bugs
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5 to server version: 3.23.58

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

Yes i know thats an ancient MySQL version but this is an app requirement, dont get me started!

now when a NIS user tries to use the db

[EMAIL PROTECTED] su - bugzilla
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql -u bugs -pxxxx bugs
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

any ideas why this is or what i can do to make it work?

thanks
