>From you're info below, mysql *shouldn't* be turning on the binary log. An easy way to test is just to run the 'ps' command and see if '--log-bin' is being added to the command line. If you have a long command line for the mysql process, you may need to use 'ps awx' or 'ps awwx' -- these work on Linux, but you may need to use something different for FreeBSD. Have you, or anyone else, edited the safe_mysqld script, possibly adding '--log-bin' there?
