When you login locally and 'use mysql', what does 'select * from user' look
like?

Do you have iptables or ipchains running and if so, have you punched a hole for
3306, the default port that MySQL listens on?

I've been using MySQL on Red Hat for years and have never seen it ship with
networking disabled. YMMV.
