Bug Description
I'm not clear if this is an issue, but I think it needs investigating.
DEBIAN_
dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server (supply new root password)
Switch to non-root Unix user
Log in with mysql client as MySQL root user
Expected behaviour: login successful
Actual behaviour: login refused
Was this case considered when doing the Unix socket auth? Is the issue that the password was initially blank and then set later, or does it do it even if the password was initially set? If the former then this probably isn't as important as the latter case.

(please check this reproduces first - I only suspect this due to some test failure logs)
