Got you. Now it's all clear to me. Commonuser/commonpass are the
credentials apache uses to talk to mysql. That's why there is only few
connections. The grant tables of the various databases share one *mysql*
user while midgard user credentials are only relevant to mod_midgard and
possibly some mgd_xxx functions. Sorry, I must have sounded stupid.

Irrelevant with my newly obtaind understanding of a multi-db setup.
