Replying to myself... Apparently my MySQL problem is just a consequence of another problem. It seems I am not able to use any non-root users. Since MySQL uses the mysql user, that is probably the cause. r...@warthog:/# su user1 Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied r...@warthog:/# ls /bin/bash -alF -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 725100 2009-03-01 10:31 /bin/bash* So probably there is some authentification issue somewhere.
