RTFM: http://www.php.net/mysql_connect

"Note:  Whenever you specify "localhost" or "localhost:port" as server,
the MySQL client library will override this and try to connect to a
local socket..."

Description:
------------
I'm using recent 4.3.10 release with mysql 4.1 client libs.

I have a configuration of 2 servers. One is the MySQL database, another
is apache 1.3 running PHP 4.3.10 through CGI/FastCGI interface.

All scripts are using "localhost" value in mysql_connect() function.
Actually that connection is being NAT'ed with iptables to MySQL
server.

When I do manual connect with telnet to localhost:3306 it works fine.
Also if "localhost" is changed  to "127.0.0.1" or  direct IP of MySQL
host ( 10.1.5.55 in this case ) it just works fine!
*But* when is "localhost" in mysql_connect() it simply does NOT work!

Reproduce code:
---------------
I keep getting this: 
Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)


keep in mind that I *am* providing the password:
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "$db_username", $db_password);

this is my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain

BTW, I've tried all the combinations:
127.0.0.1       localhost
or:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain
