The "new" default location for my.cnf as installed by the ports system is 
now /usr/local/etc, although MySQL will still find it if it is in 
mysql_dbdir.
 
MySQL startup will skip it if it has world write permissions on it, more 
specific info is in the docs. I just chmod mine 444 when I'm done with it as 
it is something I don't change once configured. But if you have two of them 
the permissions thingy can be the cause of why it skips over and ignores the 
one you think it should be using.
