I have now solved this;
The issue was that I had changed the sock adress in my.cnf and mysql had understood that.. The bug is that the mysql_secure_installation did not take any notice of the changes in my.cnf...
The easy solution to this was :to add a parameter.. i.e:
mysql_secure_installation --default-file=/etc/my.cnf
and then it works..
