Very interesting. That did indeed work! Not I have to use a uid/pwd!

What precipitated all this was my wanting to install postnuke. I've had 
similar problems before and ended up having to remove sql and re-install.

So now I'm getting the infamous "undefined function mysql_connect" when 
trying to get postnuke installed. I haven't touched the php.ini and I've 
created the database but can't get past that. I've searched the forums 
but haven't found anything yet that I've been able to use.

I saw an apt-get but that's for Debian and I'm running RH8.

I really have to document all these little fixes!
