Why do you want to login as mysql? This really is not a mysql question, but while logged in as root, enter the command: passwd mysql

Hello, I started my current job with MySQL already installed on a Linux box, and no one seemed to know what the mysql account's password was.... I want to know/change the Linux password so I can login as mysql. So far it has been fine to become root and su to mysql, as I don't do it THAT often, but I need to stop using that route.
Does anything besides user-created scripts, etc., care what the Linux mysql user has for a password? I don't want some process to break because I changed the account's password.
Many thanks in advance, Julie Myhre
