You mean add the user line to my.cnf in the init.d script, instead of
giving them the default my.cnf with the user line already in there?

I hate to go mucking with someone's customized config files without
telling them.  (and we can't ask for confirmation, because we're trying
to make it boot correctly - unattended)

This bug might get fixed in the latest version of mysql.  I see you
updated it last night.  I'll run a fresh compile tonight, and if the bug
is fixed, I'll change the script back.
