Dilipkumar,

Thanks much for the tip....it did the job!

Now we query mysql to see if the new mysql database is seen by mysql and it
still only sees test:

No, you can't see the mysql db, because you don't have permission to access it. I expect you are still logged in as the anonymous user, who can only work with the test db. You have some reading to do. You've run mysql_install_db, now you need to secure the initial accounts:

  <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/default-privileges.html>.

Next you'll want to read up on how mysql's privilege system works:

  <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/privilege-system.html>

Then you should read about creating and managing user accounts:

  <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/user-account-management.html>
