The Zenoss installation requires MySQL root privileges because it creates 
triggers. Unfortunately this can only be done by the root user in MySQL.

Before running the install you can set environment variables to control which 
MySQL server will be used.

export MYSQL_SERVER="mysql.server.name"
export MYSQL_USER="root"
export MYSQL_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

If absolutely can't give the installation root access into MySQL, you can 
comment that part of the installation out. Specifically you'd comment out the 
"create_database" line in build-functions.sh when installing from source.

You'd then have to manually import the database schema as a root account. The 
schema can be found in $ZENHOME/Products/ZenEvents/db/*.sql
