No idea. I think the default might not be to install a my.cnf if you
already have one in /etc. I back up my heavily customized one from 4.0.*
before installing the 4.1.7 rpm - just in case. Seem to recall that it
did not get overwritten, nor a rpmnew.
The 'naked' my.cnf from devel mysql-4.1.9-1.src.rpm .... Defaults apart
from the old_password setting.
##### START
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
##### END
Regards
Clive
