mysql.sock moved and cannot be found by freeradius !

[Sebastian Wild]

Symbolic linking your socket to the usual location 
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock might help you.
Do ln -s /data/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock to do this.
Freeradius should then be able to connect to mysql again.
I suppose that ain't hardcoded in freeradius but it might me hardcoded 
in libmysqlclient which is used by any app that needs to connect to 
mysqld...
