hi charles,
i thought by asking someone with a stable redhat 7 install to do a tree
-palug of the directory /var/lib/mysql so all could see the modes and
owner/group it would be helpful in solving your problem? also, the modes
and owner/group on /usr/libexec/mysqld.
i have not seen such a tree posted to the list - perhaps it is considered
to "basic"?
