I think the point is, that when you installed it, there was a
"dependency" was it mysql? or was it apache? I am thinking it was
apache, maybe the auth_mysql was compiled with it, so it needed the
mysql to run porperly.
Apche has a module that allows it to authenticate users against a db
server like mysql, your apache server might have this module.. so that's
why it probably needs it. This is my only explanation of why it needs it
=S
MySQL is a complete, independent, standalone db server, same goes to
apache server, they can work together, but they are completely
independent pieces of software
