By boot sequence Im guessing you mean my different run levels? rcX.d? Im guessing that I need to set the user value within the start-up script it self rather than my.cnf??? I thought my.cnf was the config file that the start-up scripts reference, by me setting a the attribute user=mysql under [mysqld], mysql should start under the user mysql?

The my.cnf file doesn't change how your platform launches safe_mysqld. Wherever your computer runs safe_mysqld, make sure it does it as the user you want it to run as. Again, if you're unsure how to do this, consider buying someone's time (or a book) for how to do it. -- Michael T.
