Subject: Re: DBI: connecting 'local' database

Ralf,

I know that the MySQL hostname-based authentication always gives me
problems. I think you need to make sure that you have access rules for
'ram@localhost', as well as just 'ram', otherwise connections coming
in over a TCP socket (which DBI uses) will be handled differently than
those coming in over the mysqld domain socket (which the command-line
client uses by default).
