Hi all, I am just getting started so please forgive me for asking such a trivial question. Any/all responses will be greatly appreciated. I recently installed the source distribution of mysql 3.23.34a (mysql-3.23.34a.tar.gz) on a Cobalt Raq4+. Most of the installation went smoothly exactly as the instructions described it. I could not read all of the output from the various installation scripts but when it was all finished it all looked right and mysql ran fine. I launched mysqld with safe_mysqld and tested it out using the command line. Everything seemed to be working. I want to set it up to start & stop automatically. All of the documentation instructs me to open mysql.server and change the line mysql_daemon_user=root to the standard mysqlusr I set up earlier in the installation. I have grep-ed the entire mysql directory and the only place I can find mysql_daemon_user is in the info file, which is exactly like the documentation. Am I missing something basic here? Is it possible this is a sign of a problem with my installation? Is the documentation wrong? I want to make sure I get this right because of all the warnings of security risks if this is not set right. Thanks in advance for helping me.
