Hi,

After downloading the renewed Redhat RPM of 3.23 version of MySQL I discovered 
that the script doesn't start the database automatically. For a reason not 
known to me the script is not possible to switch to the user mysql. When I 
manually switch to the user mysql and then run the script it works fine. Does 
anyone know what is wrong in the RPM here?

To prevent errors from my side I tried this on three linux-installations with 
different kernels, etc.
