Oh - I missed the part where you're running FC1 :-) The file I looked at was
FC3 and it takes the issue you have into account:
The same file on FC3 looks like that:
STARTTIMEOUT=10
while [ $STARTTIMEOUT -gt 0 ]; do
RESPONSE=`/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uUNKNOWN_MYSQL_USER ping 2>&1` && break
echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "Access denied for user" && break
sleep 1
let STARTTIMEOUT=${STARTTIMEOUT}-1
done
if [ $STARTTIMEOUT -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL
Daemon."
action $"Starting $prog: " /bin/false
else
action $"Starting $prog: " /bin/true
fi
As you can see here, they use a unknown usere and check that they get back
access denied...
If I remember correctly, root@localhost by default does not need a password.
Is that correct? Did you change your mysql config to require a password for
root?
