mariadb-secure-installation doesn't connect to configured socket

Hello!

I've recently upgraded a server with MariaDB to OpenBSD 7.7. After
following everything I wanted to be sure that upgrading to 11.4 didn't
result in somehow installing the defaults removed when I originally
installed (10.x) and ran mariadb-secure-installation.

However, running mariadb-secure-installation prints the following error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket
'/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

This makes sense as I have the following my.cnf:

[client-server]
socket=/var/www/run/mysql/mysql.sock
#port=3306

It's possible this is not new behavior, but I wanted to see if this is
expected as I was thinking that it would use the configured socket
location.

Thank you,


Paul
