Hi,

I?ve forgot to say, that i?m a newbie to linux.
So, what do you want to say, with these lines?
That the 'mysql' user is not a shell user?
yes

i am no expert too

a daemon should run as a unprivileged user, if possible

# ps auxw | less

for this you need an account
this account need *no* shell
eg
man useradd
-s /sbin/nologin


# grep "false\|nologin\|null" /etc/passwd
