MySQL root is not the same user as *nix root.

You can use the *nix system as user=vinod, and when you connect to mysql use
>mysql -uroot-p

If the *nix sysadmin doesn't trust you, then you can create another mysql super user eg toor, and remove mysql root if that will make sysadmin happy.

See the MySQL refman for how to create MySQL user.

Good luck,
Barry.
