I done the chown, now using MySQL Navigator, I get Access denied for user:
afore@localhost (using passowrd: YES). I get the same for user mysql and
root using both my password and root password.

mysql is a group as shown in Yast2 login manager also. Permissions now shows
drwxr-xr-x   mysql    mysql.
