mysql-server on SL5.2: missing user "mysql"

[Jan Kundrát]

Hi Troy,



This was the output of `yum install` command:

Installing: mysql-server                 ####################### [10/11]
warning: user mysql does not exist - using root
warning: user mysql does not exist - using root
warning: user mysql does not exist - using root



Cheers,
-jkt

immediately after installing mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5 and calling `/etc/init.d/mysqld start`, it complains that there's no user:group mysql:mysql, which is indeed the case on a freshly installed box. Although this box was converted to LDAP using a custom cfengine setup, other RPMs (httpd) create their users without any problems.
