The initial install of zenoss requires a local mysql server or at least I 
didn't know how to tell it about an external mysql server at install time and 
at the first running of it.

So the long&short of it is zenoss creates a database(events) for itself on the 
localhost mysql server.  It grants the following privileges to itself on that 
local mysql server.


Code:
show grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED];
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for [EMAIL PROTECTED]                                                  
              |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT FILE, SUPER ON *.* TO 'zenoss'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 
'5d2e19393cc5ef67' | 
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `events`.* TO 'zenoss'@'localhost'                    
             | 
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+




The SUPER privilege is a kin to root.  The user 'zenoss' really shouldn't have 
those kind of rights.
