hmmmm ... there are no .my.cnf on any of the working hosts,
and the /etc/my.cnf.d files are the same on the working and
new hosts.  however, i had created ~/.my.cnf on the new
host with a client for root with a password (in one of my
many fiddles trying to get things to work).  i just deleted
it and now no longer need the -S option -- back in business.
thanks for your help.
