Try this:

	$ mysql -h localhost -u user -p db_name

The '-p' indicates that you wish to be prompted for the password and
db_name is the name of the database you wish to connect to.

The choice of 'user' as your username might be problematic in some
circumstances since that is a reserved word in SQL.
