You should also look into a security utility called "sudo"
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/. It allows you to provide and revoke
additional authorizations to particular users and to log their
activities when using those extra privileges. This allows you to
leave the mysql stuff under the ownership of a non-user account and
manage all the access business rules via the sudo config file.
This worked great for me; I hope it helps you.
