Trouble starting MySQL

[Freek Nossin]

People should really check /usr/ports/CHANGES after synchronising the ports
tree.

One of the entries in the file is: 
(there are also entries for the other mysql versions)

  The MySQL Daemon must now be enabled / disabled in rc.conf.
  See the script for details. 

I hope this helps ;)

I am confused.  I run FreeBSD 4.10 stable with mysql-server-4.0.21 installed
from the ports.

I have nothing in my rc.conf file for mysql, but I do have a
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh file.

When I rebooted the machine last month, mysql started without anything in
the rc.conf file.  

Why?
