This is normal behavior for any script in init.d that is manually |
| 22 |
start/stopped. If you add the mysql to a runlevel and let init start it, |
| 23 |
there is no authentication required. |

I believe this behavior is enforced by runscript, which executes all the |
| 31 |
scripts in init.d (rather than bash). All you have to do is write your own |
| 32 |
start/stop script for mysql (running under bash) and modify the selinux |
| 33 |
policy accordingly. |
