Hi Whil,

Become root and change the password of mysql. Then you will be able to
login as mysql using the newly assigned password. You could also become
root and super-user to mysql like:

su -l mysql

Regards,

LelandJ

OK, group....

Tell me what my 'mysql' password is. Don't tell me how to find it. Just give
me the damn fish this time. <g>

Because I'm embarking upon a new career in identity theft, and the first
person I want to be is Mr. MySQL.

Also because I don't want to start the server up as root.
