but databases make their data available across a network to other users of other systems. you don't want to set up user accounts for all of your database users. Set up a .my.cnf file for your Linux user if you want to make access with the mysql client program a lot nicer. stuart. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
