I guess the answer is the permissions - /tmp has drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel
Presumably mysql is using it's own id, even though I'm starting it from root.
But I don't understand why /tmp isn't writeable by all. I guess this
is a difference between linux and *BSD usage?
That sure looks wrong
Well I've just changed /tmp permissions to match those of /var/tmp
(which also match those for /tmp on my Linux systems).
And now mysqld runs, but I can't set any passwrods - I get access
denied (even for root) from mysqladmin.
It seems that the software gets installed with a secret password!
I can access mysql if i start it with the --skip-grant-tables option,
and then i can set the root user's password, but I still can't login
when i restart it.
the mysql packages are clearly screwed on dragonfly.

Did you even bother to follow the instructions from installation method?
That's just what I can't do - these instructions don't work because of
the access problem.
(They say there is no existing password, but the system denies me
access anyway).
