If this is not the case ,what is the real expectation ?Please elaborate . > - usr/src/cmd/mysql-5-0/install-mysql > > So the end result here is that the mysql data is world readable? > What's driving this? > > > > I had set the data directory in /var/mysql/5.0 as 700 which is not world readable .Are you referring to anything in particular which I can look into .This is also on similar lines to postgres . -- Sunanda Menon Database Technology Group BLR03, x87098/91-80-66937098
