The mysql_install_db script shipped with 4.1.1-alpha seems to leave the mysql/* (user,host,etc.) tables owned root.root on my Debian system; this makes mysqld fail to start after the grant tables are installed.
It looks like this is because mysql_install_db calls mysqld with --bootstrap and *without* --user=mysql. mysql_install_db already takes a --user argument but doesn't use it; perhaps it should be added to line 208? -- thanks, Will -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
