On OpenSolaris the MySQL package is integrated into the system so having it read config files from what most admins would interpreat as system locations under /etc should be natural to most any admin. And, as pointed out, it's documented that way for the OpenSolaris integration specifically, s.2.6: http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/LSARC/2007/608/materials/mysql.txt The non-OpenSolaris unbundled case is more interesting wrt to this, but that's probably a topic best moved to the forum at http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=980 > By the way, when looking into this I found the mysqld man page says: > > For more information please refer to the MySQL reference > manual, which may already be installed locally and which is > also available online at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ Which manpage are you looking at? I don't see that link in mysqld manpage in either /usr/mysql/5.1/man nor /usr/mysql/5.0/man > It also says "Source for mysql is available on http://opensolaris.org";, That's standard verbiage appended to every (or so) OpenSolaris manpage. -- Jyri J.
