That is not really a fix. The issue is, that the init script does not
take care for the case, that the MySQL root user has a password set
(which is highly recommended) and the anonymous user removed.
Unfortunately the RPM install does not care for a changed init script -
changed for fixing the issue - and exchanges it with the wrong one
again.

In the /etc/init.d/mysqld init script there are 2 lines with a
"mysqladmin ping ..." command. Change it to be

if [ -n "`/usr/bin/mysqladmin ping -u DUMMY_USER 2> /dev/null`" ]; then
