[Sahana_proj] mysql question

[Greg Fedynyshyn]

while trying to use mysql on fedora core 6, I keep getting this error:

[gefed at localhost - /usr/bin ]$ mysql -ugefed -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'gefed'@'localhost' (using 
password: YES)
[gefed at localhost - /usr/bin ]$     


For some reason it's not taking my user name and password.  Is there 
something I have to do with configuring the server (my localhost) to 
recognize my user name?
