New MySQL privileges

[Michael Widenius]

Hi!

We will in MySQL 4.0.2 introduce some new fields in the MySQL user
table, to make it possible to limit the number of queries / hour for a
user.

At the same time we could add some new privilege fields to MySQL.

The one that I know that some people have requestested is

LOCK, which will get user the right to execute LOCK TABLES.

SUPER, to be use instead of the PROCESS privelge to do some admin
tasks liiek change server side variables on the fly.

Sasha, you requested REPLSLAVE and REPLCLIENT some time again. What
was the intention for these?

Do anyone have a suggestion for any other privilege we should add at
the same time ?
