You will likely get a better explanation from DocKimbel, but in
the meantime:
With Linux:
-----------
I have in my mysql table a host entry the same as my computer alias
and a host entry the same as my machine's hostname.
I'm not inclined to use root from a script. Not being a linux
expert, I just play it safe and avoid it.
I hope this helps in the interim ....
