But mysql_config is already installed in /usr/bin by SuSE so that's not really something that should be edited by a user. There should be something elsewhere in a user-alterable part of the file system, which is why I bodged it by editing mysql.mtest. But my main issue is that none of this should be necessary. It should just install automatically using the default mysql anonymous accounts. Why is that not working?
