Any help on this issue? You're looking for adduser(8). If you install MySQL from ports, though, the user will be added automatically.

Jörg Reisenweber wrote: pw groupadd mysql ; pw useradd mysql -g mysql Thanks for providing the correct usage of pw useradd. At first sight, I thought your pw useradd mysql -g mysql is a typo, which misplaced the first mysql and -g option, so I used pw useradd -g mysql mysql, but got an error saying pw: user name or id required Then I man pw, and found the usage of (pw) user add is a little different from the standard ones: pw [-V etcdir] useradd [name|uid] [-C config] [-q] [-n name] [-u uid] [-c comment] [-d dir] [-e date] [-p date] [-g group] [-G grouplist] [-m] [-k dir] [-w method] [-s shell] [-o] [-L class] [-h fd | -H fd] [-N] [-P] [-Y] In FreeBSD, it should be pw useradd username -g groupname, and not pw useradd -g groupname username. Last but not least, thanks for everyone who helped me in this thread.

Btw, Just think of this problem: Although I have added the user mysql to my machine, I didn't set its password. When does this newly added user get his/her password and change it? thanks, Regards, Xu Qiang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use the passwd command as root, or if you want to set it from a script, you can use the -h option to pw usermod. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: groupadd/useradd in FreeBSD?
Maybe it is an off-topic question. I cd /usr/local/mysql/sql-bench and perl run_all_tests, just to get the following error: - Got error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' when connecting to DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost with user: '' password: '' - By the way, before doing the bench test, I did this operation: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h gso_dev_2.workgroup password 'new-password' Is this the cause? Dan, I remember you said that mysqld will automatically setuid() itself to the mysql user when it starts up. How to let the bench test run?

Take a look at the the sql-bench documentation or look at the run_all_tests script to find out how to tell it what the password is. Sorry I didn't read the file README in the sql-bench directory before asking the question. Now I run the test with perl run-all_tests --user=mysql, and it can run now. Thanks for pointing our that. :) Regards, Xu Qiang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
