Hi
I don't understand the way mysql tries to jail itself with --chroot.
If I start
mysqld --chroot=/var/lib/mysql_jail
then it gives me an error saying that it wasn't able to initialize the
databases. When I copy the mysql database somewhere into the jail it works.
But - when I modify the mysql database or create new databases then only
the files outside the jail, in /var/lib/mysql/ gets modified.
So why there is a need for having this mysql database copy in the jail?!
TIA
bye,

Apropos: it would be nice if someone would incorporate the no-passwd-patch
from the mailing list into the latest mysqld server so that there is no longer
a need to have a /etc/passwd and libnss/libcompat in the jail.
