If you only want one person to be your msql administrator,
in msql.conf, just use:
        Admin_User = mfchen

Replace the user mfchen with msql or whomever else you wish

I'm trying to have multiple "mSQL administrators" whom can
delete/create database and shutdown the msqld server.
In my case, only the first user defined is able to do all the msql
admin functions... :-( ( ie no web interface to add/delete msql dbs )

I may be mistaken, but, these are just my observations on my linux box...
that I've been trying to get to work properly...
