$NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.2 2004/05/14 11:42:13 grant Exp $

The MySQL directory `${MYSQL_DATADIR}' should be owned by the
user `${MYSQL_USER}' and group `${MYSQL_GROUP}'.  This can be done with:

  chown -R ${MYSQL_USER}:${MYSQL_GROUP} ${MYSQL_DATADIR}

If this is a new installation, please remember to set a password for
the MySQL root user!  This is done by running both:

  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'

(The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
As there is no existing password, just press Return.)

There is now a script distributed with mysql that can help you lock
down an installation.  This script has been installed to 

  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.

See the manual and the mysql web site for more instructions.
