I am using mac os x 10.2.

[Hisako:/usr/local/mysql] hisako% sudo ./bin/mysqladmin shutdown ./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

[Hisako:/tmp] hisako% ls 501 mysql.sock ppp.log [Hisako:/tmp] hisako% ls -laf total 8 drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 170 Apr 10 13:42 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 204 Apr 10 13:22 .. drwx------ 3 hisako wheel 102 Apr 10 13:35 501 srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql wheel 0 Apr 10 13:42 mysql.sock -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 459 Apr 10 13:25 ppp.log

I am the only one using this computer. why there are so many root users to access this mysql.sock? why I can't shut down? why it can not connect to mysql.sock?
