Ladies, gentleman,

I'm trying to secure a mysql server and according to the MySQL
certification guide the file system mysql install directories should be
owned by the user/group mysql.mysql. Also the server should be started
using NOT the root account but the mysql account which easily can be done
by modifying /etc/my.cnf file.
Assuming that /usr/local is the installation if you did install from a tar ball to this directory this must be done:

chown -R mysql.mysql /usr/local
chmod u =rwx,go=rx /usr/local

Any particular reason you want to brew something yourself, instead of a simple "yum install mysql-server", which sets all of this up, for you?
