I tried running mysql_install_db and I get:
*-----------------------
# /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --force
Preparing db table
Preparing host table
Preparing user table
Preparing func table
Preparing tables_priv table
Preparing columns_priv table
Installing all prepared tables
031106  7:19:56  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
*-----------------------

Then I tried running 
*-------------------------
#  /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql
031106 07:23:11  mysqld ended
*-------------------------
I still get the error on the /var/mysql/'hostname.err' file
*----------------------
031106 07:23:08  mysqld started
031106  7:23:09  InnoDB: Started
031106  7:23:09  Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: 
'./mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
031106  7:23:09  Aborting

031106  7:23:09  InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
031106  7:23:11  InnoDB: Shutdown completed
031106  7:23:11  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

031106 07:23:11  mysqld ended
*----------------------

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

:-)

Are you using Panther client or server? my.cnf is usually in /etc. Have 
you run mysql_install_db yet?
