If that is the case I am now confused about the inconsistencies is
2009.1. An out of the box install of 2009.1 installs /home not user
writeable, but normal users have no issue writing to /home/&uid when
/home is left with the default allocations, so what's the difference and
why this inconsistency.
The main question this error raises is, because mysqld has to be started
under root to use the --user parameter to specify what userid to run it
under (which I specified as mysql as per doco), and I created
/home/mysql even though it is not required, and I had not explicitly
specified the path for temporary files at this stage, why was it using
/root/tmp anyway?
