Thanks, again.  The can-not-connect-to-server page was especially helpful.

It turned out that I had to add a line to /etc/hosts.allow to permit
TCP connections to mysqld even from localhost.

What confused me was 

$ mysql --host=localhost --port=...

was working and *seemed* to be making its connection through TCP, 
on the specified port, but was actually using a Unix socket instead.  
If you specify --host=localhost (or omit host altogether), it does that.
On the other hand, in the opensim config files, "server=localhost"
in the connection string *does* force it to use TCP.  In fact it
seems impossible to configure opensim to use a Unix socket.

You also need to adjust the settings for "storage_plugin" and "storage_connection_string" in the [Startup] section, and "inventory_plugin", "inventory_source", "userDatabase_plugin", and "user_source" in the [StandAlone] section of OpenSim.ini.
