Hi,
i don't know "mysqladmin", but i think be a front-end
program like mysqlcc or mysql-front, right?
This kind of program need mysql-odbc access to interact with mysql-server.
You can find myodbc here:

[edit]
It's very usefull: with this access, you can import your db in most program such excel or access too...
