After installing the server and client RPMs on my RH 7 box and verifying that
everything worked properly as root. Since I want mysql to run as the mysql user, I
searched for every directory where mysql occurred and changed ownership from root:root
to mysql:root. I can start safe_mysqld fine and use and modify the test database. I
cannot, however, use the mysql db at all -- I get an error that says "access denied
for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql' " when I try to use it.
I haven't had any success so far finding any help in the manual or Monty's book about
this particular condition, so any help is appreciated.
tia,
Brian
