Change mysql client default socket?

Hi,

I have both MySQL 5 client and server running on a Linux Fedora Core 5
machine (x86 Desktop PC). Regarding hte client, what can I do to
change the default socket location? Right now, I'm repeatedly having
to type in "--socket=/path/to/socket" in order to connect. I would
prefer to put that config info in one place.

Thanks, - Dave
