- The mysql5 port installs the tool as "mysql5", not "mysql".
- The user names you specify when you connect to a database are for *database users*, not *system users*. Since you haven't set up any MySQL users, you must connect as the root MySQL user. I don't think it has a password by default.
- You may have to specify the mysqld's Unix socket using "--socket" if mysql5 can't find it automatically.
