Yes, you need to have a password, but not on root. The password you
choose will be given to the zenoss account.
Sometimes, when mysql is installed, the root user does not have a
password. Previously, zenoss required a password to perform the
install. Now zenoss still requires a password, but you don't have to
have one in mysql before you install.

Are you sure? I tripped over this when doing the install. The
relevant portion of the install script is
if [ -z "$MYSQLPASS" ] ; then
fail "You must set the password for $MYSQLUSER"

If you change the $MYSQLUSER variable this might work. However, I
believe you still must have a non blank password.
Thanks

Subject: Re: [zenoss-users] Revised Install Instructions (for review)
NOTE: Do not under any circumstances use a mysql root account
with a blank password. The install script will not accept
a blank mysql password.
This is no longer true. If the install script can get in w/out a
password, it creates a user "zenoss", password "zenoss" with the
appropriate permissions.
