Normally the user starting the service is either root (in which case this thread doesn't apply) or a normal user who has been assigned the necessary rights (that you're adding here to enable this scenario). The system users like webservd or mysql are not generally intended for anyone to use directly, it's just for the daemon process to run as. So, there is no need for mysql user to have the rights to start mysql. I see these changes are not there in the latest diff anyway so this is probably a moot point by now, just wanted to respond. > >>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 . The old diffs had 755, maybe I just didn't reload my browser in time.. anyway, I see it is 700 now so looks good. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
