[rt-users] i can connect to mysql but "www" cant.

[Josh Kuperman]

Ok more Mac OS X strange stuff. I have telnet disabled in favor of  
ssh, but that seems to
prevent me from being able to contact my mysqld. I also found out  
that by default Mac OS X
server start the daemon with the skip networking option. But what I  
find truly mystifying is why I can connect to the mysql server, us my  
rt user and password, but that the web user, on the Mac OS X server  
it is "www" on some other apache implementation it is nobody.

I believe for rt to work, the user running the web server "www" needs  
to be able to access the mysqld.  I don't understand why I can access  
mysqld on localhost but not "www".
