Greetings,

I installed mysql on my friend's laptop (remotely) via ports, and now
he has a strange issue when he boots into freebsd.  As the screen is
going through its normal checks it mentions it is starting mysql, then
it goes to a bash prompt.  When I have him type 'whoami' it responds
with mysql.  When he types exit, GDM kicks in and he gets his normal
login window.  Is there anything I should check for that could explain
why mysql is getting logged in?

System is 5.3 release, the script for mysql:

#!/bin/sh
#
# $FreeBSD: ports/databases/mysql41-server/files/mysql-server.sh.in,v

# PROVIDE: mysql
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS
# BEFORE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# 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.
# mysql_limits (bool):  Set to "NO" by default.
#                       Set it to yes to run `limits -e -U mysql`
#                       just before mysql starts.
# mysql_dbdir (str):    Default to "/var/db/mysql"
#                       Base database directory.
# mysql_args (str):     Custom additional arguments to be passed
#                       to mysqld_safe (default empty).
