Fixed My Problems with Snort 2.0.0 and MySQL Client with Redhat 9

[Mike Chandler <mchandl12000 () yahoo com>]

I found that if I reinstall RH 9 and let the RH
installer install httpd, mysql, php, gd,
perl-DBD_File, perl-DBD-mysql (anything perl and
anything mysql) all my problems went away.  Snort
2.0.0 runs and connects to mysql.  Acid works fine. 
The only problem I seem to be having is with NetSSLeay
so my connections to webmin are not ssl connections. 
That is a recognized problem with RH 9 and NetSSLeay.

I don't know why I was having so many problems with
the mysql rpm's I downloaded from mysql.com and
mysql.orst.edu, but the Redhat mysql rpms work and I'm
not sure I even want an explanation anymore.  Thanks
to all that helped.
