problem upgrading

[Lance Uyehara]

I was running mysql 3.23.26 on freebsd 4.6 without a problem. Then I had a runaway high load cpu event and figured I should at least get later code before complaining. So I grabbed 3.23.52 (the latest freebsd package).

My databases are in /var/db/mysql.

My root partition is mounted readonly.

When I run:
/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --skip-networking > /dev/null 2>&1 &

I get the following error:
Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!

When I do mount -u /
everything runs just fine.

So my question is what do I need to do to run mysqld with the / partition mounted read only?

Thanks for the help,
Lance
