Yikes, that's desperate. It's easier by far to just go into NetInfo (either from the command line or via NetInfo Manager) and just restore your settings there. Granted, this would have been easier if the earlier settings had been noted beforehand, but still this isn't bad. Likewise, isn't there a /etc/mysql.conf or /usr/local/mysql/mysql.conf [is it obvious that I'm grasping here? :] that can be edited so that you can just use the newly created/edited/mangled mysql user? If all that fails, then yeah go ahead & rebuild from scratch, but I would hope that you have other options before taking that particular plunge. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
