Useful tip if you installed something as an rpm rpm -ql packagename will list all the files it installed. SO if mysqladmin ended up somewhere odd in the suse setup (they seem to like moving stuff to /opt) then you can work out where it went even if someone forgot to fix the instructions. Ditto the cases where you go to the net for help and find the documentation on the master sites doesn't match the distro location. Alan
