[Serusers] Access Denied Error in SER setup

Hi, In the process of setting up the SER proxy server, I always get the following error : # /usr/sfw/bin/mysqladmin -h <my_machine_name> -u mysql password 'viperdodge' /usr/sfw/bin/mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Access denied for user: '@<my_machine_name>' to database 'mysql'' I am referring to the following document for setting up the proxy server : http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/solaris_as_sip/solaris_as_sip.ht… I could finish upto step 5.3 i.e. I finished the test run successfully, however I am having a problem in setting up the root password. If I skip this step and go ahead, I get the following error whenever I try to use serweb using http://<my_machine_name>/admin : Database error: pconnect(<my_machine_name>, ser, $Password) failed. MySQL Error: () Session halted. I tried all the options as per the MYSQL manual which is available at : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/access-denied.html But it's not of much help to me. I will appreciate if somebody has any pointers for this. Thanks, Bhaskar...
