Disregard above. I've been using mysqld to start the server since 1998. Hadn't
looked into safe_mysqld since I've only noted that mechanism on RedHat and don't
use it RH.
Have reconfigured the slackware mysql server to start with safe_mysqld and with
/etc/my.cnf with useful options for replication.
Unfortunately, the slave is in a long mysamchk -o process after tarring the dbs
from the master (master is a dual Slack, while slave is a single; shouldn't
matter, but, the communication packets problem is preventing replication,
although I can see the slave connecting to try and get the updates).
The saga continues....
