FreeBSD Mysql 2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Question

MySQL is running, verified by service mysql-server status.

Here is my config file (/etc/my.cnf):

[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
language = /usr/share/mysql/English
#bind-address = 127.0.0.1
#skip-networking

3306 is open (sockstat -4 -l):

USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     sendmail   749   4  tcp4   127.0.0.1:25          *:*
root     sshd       746   4  tcp4   *:22                  *:*
mysql    mysqld     714   10 tcp46  *:3306                *:*
root     syslogd    424   7  udp4   *:514                 *:*

mysql.user Host for User root is set to wildcard %

Any ideas what else I could do?
