[R] RMySQL trouble

[alessandro.valli@deexstg1.amd.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to use RMySQL (0.4-6) on Win2000 Server and I'm not able to pass
the authentication parameters via my.cnf.
Passing directly the authentication parameters to dbConnect works, but using

con <- dbConnect(mgr, group="MyGroup"),

where MyGroup is a section in C:\my.cnf, doesn't. 
If MyGroup exists the Rgui is disappearing !
In case not existing it simply connects to the localhost but not to a
specific database (as it should ...).

Thanks for any help,
Alessandro
