Ah, there's a slight discrepency. One of them points to the socket,
the other points to a symlink that points to the socket. Not sure if
it really makes a difference, but it's better that they both point
directly to the socket. Fixed.

Check.

/etc/rc.d/rc.mysql stop
find / -name 'mysql.sock'

Man, turned up more files than I would have thought. Did some house
cleaning on that. This definitely helped, thanks. Between you and a
reply on another forum, everything's working fine now. Thanks a bunch!
