I had the same problem a few weeks ago with RH 9. I backed up the databases in /var/lib/mysql and then removed the RH mysqld rpms. I then downloaded the latest binary installer (4.0.18) from http://www.mysql.com and followed the directions to install it. Everything works fine now, and when privileges get screwed up (yes, believe it or not, I screwed them up again while trying to 'secure' my db), I can rerun the script that sets up the mysql table and things are back to normal.
