Hi all!
        I had chroot working under 3.23 and 4.x, although it was always rather
kludgy. Under 5.0 i can't get it to work to save my life. I start MySQL
with the mysql.server script that is included in 5.0. It seems that no
matter how i set options like basedir=, datadir=, pidfile=, and so
forth, it doesn't work. It seems like the only way to possibly make it
work would be to symlink myself to death and/or copy half of the
installation to the chroot()ed directory, since mysql.server and
mysqld_safe use the same parameters as mysqld from /etc/my.cnf, but they
use them before a chroot() call, whereas mysqld uses them after a
chroot() call. Setting the options separately in [mysql.server] and/or
[mysqld_safe] doesn't change anything.
        Does anyone have any pointers? Has anyone gotten it to work?

                        -&
