Wasn't there something awhile back that was supposed to prevent
running the daemon as root? When the daemon was started through
safe_mysqld it would tell you to select a user as root you had to
use --user=root, this seems to be gone!
from the manual:
F.2.26 Changes in release 3.23.15
To start mysqld as root, you must now use the --user=root option.
This does not seem to be true (tested on freebsd 3.23.41 etc), the
reason I have a problem with this is I am getting some files owned by
root, which is a problem if someone restarts mysql as
"safe_mysqld&". I am adding the user to my.cnf to avoid this, but it
does seem to confict with the manual unless I missed a change note to
remove that feature!
