>Description:
getpwent on FreeBSD requires the file /etc/spwd.db to exist in
order for it to be successful. In a chroot'd environment, this
file disappears, and mysqld errors out with a "Can't find user"
error message, even though the user exists on the system.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to use the --chroot=/usr/local/mysql option on FreeBSD.
>Fix:
The workaround is to copy /etc/spwd.db to /usr/local/mysql/etc.
A fix is to use the function getpwent to get the UID before
chroot(), and pass the UID instead of the name to the set_user
function in the file sql/mysqld.cc.
