Mysql Server Question

['Forum Post]

Wade asked:

"Tim - a question. Im still really new to linux so bear with me. My
book 

on mysql says -> mysql will be installed as root but for security 

reasons dont run it as such. Its best to change the owner and group to


something like mysqladm and mysqlgrp.



If that is the case, if I change one mysql file I'll have to change 

everything otherwise they wont be able to access each other - right?"



I am also totally new to linux (ubuntu has been awesome so far!!) and
MySQL and I am having the same trouble as wade.  it won't let me change
the user away from root and I have heard that it is bad to let root be a
MySQL user....

help?
