Hi Juha,

I think the reason why mysqld requires $named in the init script is the
possibility to use hostnames in the user table.

According to the documentation, MySQL attempts to resolve the host name
when a new client connects. But this may fail when another daemon which
requires access to MySQL during startup gets started between mysqld and
$named.

MySQL has an option called skip-name-resolve, but I don't think it's a
good idea to use it by default.

Suggestions?
