[otrs] My head is sore!

Thats what comes of bashing it against the wall :-) I had everything running nicely and then decided to do a CVS. I am quite used to CVS and so it should not have been a problem. Anyhow, I removed everything and started again. Now I have an error when trying to get the database initialised. Every time I try it says access for user root@localhost denied. I am not running X as root of course. Should I be running as otrs or something? Ian
