It's not necessary to be root to check the status with "rcmysql status" (thought either /usr/sbin must be in your PATH or you must give the fully qualified path name, "/usr/sbin/rcmysql"). And, of course, you _do_ need to be root to alter the status (i.e., to use the verbs "start", "stop", "restart", "reload", "try-restart" or "force-reload").
