 2.9 Post-Installation Setup and Testing
 =======================================
 
 After installing MySQL, there are some issues you should address.  For
 example, on Unix, you should initialize the data directory and create
 the MySQL grant tables.  On all platforms, an important security
 concern is that the initial accounts in the grant tables have no
 passwords.  You should assign passwords to prevent unauthorized access
 to the MySQL server.  For MySQL 4.1.3 and up, you can create time zone
 tables to enable recognition of named time zones. (Currently, these
 tables can be populated only on Unix. This problem will be addressed
 soon for Windows.)
 
 The following sections include post-installation procedures that are
 specific to Windows systems and to Unix systems. Another section, 
 Starting server, applies to all platforms; it describes what to do if
 you have trouble getting the server to start.   Default
 privileges also applies to all platforms. You should follow its
 instructions to make sure that you have properly protected your MySQL
 accounts by assigning passwords to them.
 
 When you are ready to create additional user accounts, you can find
 information on the MySQL access control system and account management in
  Privilege system and  User Account Management.
