[sorry for preivous reply that didn't go to the list]
I did my homework and found out that useradd fails:
[root@goliasx33 ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd -M -o -r -d /var/lib/mysql -s
/bin/bash -c "MySQL Server" -u 27 mysql ; echo $?
useradd: group mysql exists - if you want to add this user to that
group, use -g.

Indeed, group "mysql" somehow got defined in our LDAP tree :(.
Sorry for noise and thanks for your reactions.
Cheers,
