MySQL on Mac OS X S 10.2

[tlr7425]

Well, I think I ALMOST have figured out how to get the Apple installed MySQL running on Mac OS X Server 10.2 (not an XServe). I have it running but still have some issues:

(Apple installs the mysql in /usr/share as opposed to /usr/local... as far as I can tell.)

I am having trouble with 2 things:

1) Apple has also already created a user named mysql -this can be seen in the NetInfo Manager, no where else that I am aware of. This user's passwd is listed in NetInfo as "*" (an asterisk)... I do not know what that means unless it means one has not been set, i.e., "anything". So that is one question I have, about the password and how to check it AND how to set it. Also, should I do a chown -R on Mysql/* to the user: mysql ? (Once I know or have set its passwd?)

2) Then I would like to know what to do to make THAT user the one who starts mysqld, instead of the mysql Root user which I am doing manually if I had to reboot.


Thanks a lot for any help,
TR
