[olug] mysql how do I get it to start

[Daniel Pfile]

Just to make sure you don't misunderstand, you can run the client as 
any user, the server must be ran as root. (Well, you COULD run it as a 
user, but that's left as an exercise for the reader.) The client 
connects to the server via either unix (like the mysql.sock file) or 
tcp sockets (like the interweb). MySQL has it's own user/perm system 
that's described in the manual, it integrates with system users 
somewhat as well. You can delegate access to tables and the commands a 
mysql user is allowed to run.
