Using mysqladmin in Jailshell

[Peter Verrill]

Hey,

A customer has been nagging me to fix this though I can't figure out how.

When in jailshell and trying to use mysqladmin the following error is received:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

I know why this error occurs (because mysql.sock isn't there relative to the jailshell) but can't figure out a way to make it work.

Any Suggestions?

While there may be other ways to do it, the only way I know to create functionality with a jail is to recreate the entire environment relative to the jail.
