Subject:/var/lib/mysql permission in recent mysql rpms

i notice that recent mysql versions (including 3.23.54a that i just upgraded to) set /var/lib/mysql ownership and permission to (mysql,mysql,700). i used to remember that this is not so in older versions.

the 700 permission mode causes problem in multiuser settings, where people connect from as unix users other than 'mysql' since they cannot open /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. i suggest changing it [back?] to 711?
