Trouble with command.
 

Hi,

I'm having trouble with CentOS 6.3.

I open the terminal and type $sudo mysql
Then I receive the following error..

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Help?

sudo is only used for OS accts. http://linux.die.net/man/5/sudoers

To login to MySQL, you need an acct on the database; a separate thing eg
which will prompt you for the mysql root acct's passwd. Note this is nothing to do with the OS root acct.
Really its bad design, they should have called it dba or some such thing, to avoid confusion.

It works now, thank you chrism01, I appreciate your effort!
