Hi All, Thank you very much for the kind and ample help !
I am running Mac OS X 10.3.2 Panther, and per the MySQL (DuBois) book have created a new user 'mysqladm' to run the server. I manually start the server now via : sudo mysqld_safe --user=mysqladm I have two questions : 1. Why does 'mysqld' appear as a process under both (Is this OK/secure?): top -U root (although here, it does not seem to be "consuming any time") top -U mysqladm 2. Since I have created this new account solely for running the server, how do I enable automatic starting of the server when I reboot? I read that Mac OSX has /Library/StartupItems /System/Library/StartupItems & also a nice packaged 'Installer' but I am worried that my --user=mysqladm will not be configured properly with this installer. Thank you all for any help! Cheers, Tristan -- Tristan J.
