Description Vegard Hanssen 2000-09-30 09:31:51 EDT

When installing mysql the scripts removes read, write and execute access to
/var/lib/mysql
This is a problem because a normal user need access to
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to connect to the server.

I fixed it with
chmod o+x /var/lib/mysql

This was fixed with an errata on Tuesday, 3.23.24-1.
