mysql_config (4.0.21) returning the wrong socket location

Hi,

I installed a fresh copie of MySQL 4.0.21 on Solaris 8 (Sparc). I did put
the following in the my.cnf file:

==================================
[mysqld]
User=mysql
Port=3306
Socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock
log

[client]
socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock
==================================

When I start MySQL, it does create the socket in /usr/local/mysql/. When I
(or PHP, or Perl) ask mysql_config about the socket, it returns
"/tmp/mysql.sock"...

nrn6# ls -l /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx   1 mysql    mysql          0 Oct 21 09:30
/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock

nrn6# ls -l /tmp/mysql.sock
/tmp/mysql.sock: No such file or directory

nrn6# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --socket
/tmp/mysql.sock

Any idea?
