Hi all.

I've read the instructions at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing-binary.html.

It says 

The basic commands that you must execute to install and use a MySQL binary
distribution are: 
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> gunzip < /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root  .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

In step 2 says to create an user mysql associated to group mysl. Is more
convenient to not create a home directory associated to mysql? Which was the
suitable command: useradd -d /dev/null -g mysql mysql?
