[rt-users] configuration concern --with-db-type=mysql

While experimenting, I ran:

./configure --with-db-type=mysql  (I know it's the default, I was
experimenting)
make install
make initialize-database

Somewhere during "make initialize-database" the root password for mysql
got changed to blank (after the rt database was created and before
finishing).  I un-installed and re-installed mysql (twice), had to run
the cpan installations again, and re-installed rt3 before I figured it
out (took several hours).  I ended up using:

 ./configure --with-rt-group=rt --with-db-type=mysql --with-db-dba=root
--with-db-rt-user=rt_user --with-db-rt-pass=rt_pass
--with-web-user=nobody
--with-web-group=nobody

, to get it back again.  Hope this helps if you land where I did!!
