MySQL users from eDirectory?

Hello All.  I have a MySQL 5.0 that I downloaded from mysql.com.  My server 
is NW 6.5 sp5, and my question is:  It seems that I have to create users 
from the MySQL Administrator.  I would have expected to be able to create, 
or be able to use, ConsoleOne and existing eDirectory users with MySQL.  Can 
someone clarify this for me, please?

yes, I think I can....
MySQL is completely independent from eDir - that means that NetWare is just 
the underlaying OS - that's it; everything else behaves as any MySQL 
installation on other platforms. That means for you:
- learn how mysql holds its users in tables and how toi manage them
- learn to either use a web-based administration frontend = phpMyAdmin 
(installed by default on your server - but be careful! Now since you manually 
updated to mysql5 I would bet you didnt do that yet for PHP5 which is also 
required, or else you will receive further ABENDs....
- or to use alternately a GUI client like MysqlFront, or the MySQL Admin from  
MySQL self...

HTH, Guen.

Thank you for clarifying for me!
