Just to add a few side notes. We have 2 MySQL's running on a RH/Linux 6.2 box, and it has proven to be very stable and very reliable. :)
We have approx., 30+ clients that use the one of the MySQL servers, and we set up each client with a .my.cnf in each of the respective root directories: /home/<user_name>/.my.cnf so when they login thru the shell, all they need to do is type in at the prompt: $bash mysql and they are logged into their database. We do use their UN*X account username and password, as they find this easier then trying to remember separate username/password or password to access the MySQL client. This has worked very well for us :) >On Thu, 6 Dec 2001 14:46:19 -0500, Erik Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>Good move. >> >>> 1) when I am logged into linux as "user1" and I create a database, does >>> this mean that my username and password for the database will be the >>> same as the linux login, or do you have to set username and password >>> when you are creating the database? >> >>Some people are confused by the way MySQL keeps track of users because >>MySQL also features a user called "root" (like in Unix/Linux).
