Umm, this is snipped directly from the script:

# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mysql:
# mysql_enable (bool):          Set to "NO" by default.
#                               Set it to "YES" to enable MySQL.

Is that wrong? *Should* it be mysqld_enable-"YES" within the script? If 
so, that's a kind of major oversight on the mysql/freebsd teams' part 
no?

I am in the company of gurus so I should really keep my n00b trap 
(mostly) shut - as is usually the case :)
