Hi,

I noticed that the MySQL 5 MacPort re-uses the "mysql" user account that is already a part of Mac OS X. I am wondering if it might be better to create a separate user account such as "mysql5" rather than re-use Apple's "mysql" user account? I guess its unlikely that Apple would change the MySQL user account that is packaged with Mac OS X but for a more independent approach for MacPorts, wouldn't it make more sense to have a separate account?

Cheers,

-T.M.
