mysql5 +server install

[Michael Brian Bentley]

I just tried to install mysql5, and I tried uninstalling it and 
reinstalling it a couple times. It appears to install a zero-length 
/opt/local/var/db/mysql5/mysql/user.MYD file, apparently making it 
difficult to log into mysql root and access things.

Has anyone else run into that problem? We had to copy the 
/opt/local/var/db/mysql5/mysql folder contents from another machine 
to be able to log in properly.
