I think FreeRADIUS doesn't read the file "my.cnf". To be more accurate,
it doesn't tell the libmysqlclient to read the file.

Question for Alan: it seems easy to pass an option to the libmysqlclient
to make it read a section called "radiusd" in "my.cnf". It'd make possible
to define there any options specific to MySQL which are not available
through our "sql.conf". Should I try to add this to the CVS ?
