I guess this means I should only start mysql server by
being the user mysql. But how can I become the user
mysql?
The user/group mysql was created automatically during
install and mysql is actually a system process, thus
it has no password, the password database shows this
listing for the user mysql.
mysql:*:88:88::0:0:MySQL
Daemon:/var/db/mysql:/sbin/nologin
Put a user line in the [mysqld] group of the /etc/my.cnf option
file, like this:
[mysqld]
user=mysql
Then start the server as root (safe_mysqld, mysql.server, etc.).
The server will notice the user line in the [mysqld] group
and change its user id to that of the mysql account.
