[olug] Mysql question...

[Collard, John]

I've been using mysql on windows for several years.  Recently converted
to using Suse 9.1 Pro, and installed mysql from the Suse DVD and there
is a mysql file in /etc/rc.d.

So, How do I verify it's up? And how do I get access to it the first
time? (to set passwords, create databases, etc.) 

Thanks,
