Subject:running mysql (mysql users)

I wish to attempt to clarify one of my earlier questions:

Most things I've read say to establish a "mysql" user -I take it this is to run the daemon(mysqld?) under? Is the above user one that will be created in the users table of the mysql db? What mysql privileges does such a user need?

Also, why is a mysql "root" user needed and what mysql privileges does that user need?

I do not know how this fits in with the above users (root & mysql) but I usually make "myself" a mysql superuser, should I do that?

Thanks,

TR
