>Description:
As of MySQL 5.1.10 the location for the "my.cnf" should be "/usr/local/etc" [1]. But in the startup script "/mysql-server.sh" the path is fixed to "--defaults-extra-file=${mysql_dbdir}/my.cnf".

a) the default should be "/usr/local/etc/my.cnf".
b) there should be a rc.conf var like " ${mysql_defaultsfile="/usr/local/etc/my.cnf"}".

Regards,
Carsten
