Description:
Neither the SHOW MASTER STATUS page nor the GRANTS page indicate what privileges are required for SHOW MASTER STATUS

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-master-status.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html

Suggested fix:
Mention on one of those pages that SHOW MASTER STATUS requires either SUPER or REPLICATION CLIENT.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.

Updated the page for SHOW MASTER STATUS to indicate the privilege information. (And also the page for SHOW SLAVE STATUS, which requires the same privileges.)
