After an upgrade of a RH9 box to Fedora I get this when trying to start MySQL.

However, even though the script says it FAILED, mysql seems to be running just fine.
I saw the same thing. Looking at the startup script, it seems that it checks that mysqld is running with a 10 second timeout. It does this with 'mysqladmin ping'.
Unfortunately, for any secure mysql server, this will fail.
# /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'
