Freeradius & Mysql initial install

Hi,

> rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0
> rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server
> atkinsd at localhost:radius
> rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Access denied for user 'atkinsd'@'localhost'
> (using password: YES)'

this message means that the radius service was unable to talk to the
mysql database 'radius' using the credentials you supplied. so either
'atkinsd' is unable to access the mysql database from localhost, or
your password for accessing the DB is wrong. either way, its a mysql issue
so try accessing mysql from the command line using the mysql tool
and see what happens when you try connecting to that database with
the user and password you think you should be using.
