[02] HOW DO I CONNECT TO MY DATABASE?

     From any sdf machine, type:

     $ mysql -h ol.freeshell.org -u $LOGNAME -p $LOGNAME 

                         - OR -
 
     $ mysql -h sdf-eu.org -u $LOGNAME -p $LOGNAME 

     A short cut called 'startsql' has been created for you so you 
     don't have to type the command above.

     You will be prompted for a password, which by default is
     your user login.  (Please read the sentence and take its
     meaning literally!)  If you wish to change your password, you
     may do so like this:

     $ mysqladmin -h ol.freeshell.org -u $LOGNAME -p password 'mynewpass'
     
                                      - OR - 

     $ mysqladmin -h sdf-eu.org -u $LOGNAME -p password 'mynewpass'

     (NOTE! its a bit confusing, but you will be prompted for your
     OLD password).
