Would not write to /tmp.

I have two my.cnf files.   They are identical except under [client], 
/etc/my.cnf had password commented out      #password      mypassword.
 
Under [client] in /home/bruce/my.cnf, it was   password    augie05. 
 This is my mysql root password.

I uncommented the one and changed both to my mysql user password. 
 Shutdown mysql and restarted.   No change.

I'll give up an read a while.
Thanks for the help,
bruce
