OK, this is what I get:

	# mysqladmin -u root password
	mysqladmin: Too few arguments to change password

I don't since I've just built the port on a newly-installed machine.

But...THIS WORKED!

	# mysqladmin -u root password "[password]"

Now I can log into mysql with:

	# mysql -uroot -p[password]

Thanks again for steering me in the right direction.
