No no no. Before installing the mysql-server package the mysql user was placed in passwd.db. It made a "Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql'. Please check that the user exists!' error". I did some outputs for you and then fixed the /etc/passwd with getent command then reinstalled mysql-server package. > If you use NIS, you are suppsed to have "nis" in /etc/nsswitch.conf, > because otherwise it's impossible for applications to "know" that they > should also look in NIS for passwd data, or?

It seems like mysql requires user entry only in /etc/passwd file. -- .''`.
