Description:
Using the MySQL Prefs Pane in Mac OS X, the "Start MySQL Server" button brings up an authentication dialog, and then starts the MySQL server as expected. Once the server is running for a while, clicking the "Stop MySQL Server" button has no effect. It should ask for authentication again (since the first session is timed out) and then shut down the instance of MySQL Server.

How to repeat:
1. Open System Preferences->MySQL
2. Click "Start MySQL Server" and authenticate yourself
3. Wait 5-10 minutes
4. Click "Stop MySQL Server"

Suggested fix:
Have the "Stop MySQL Server" button action check to see if we're still authenticated when it's clicked, and if not, ask for authentication again.

I'd imagine whatever function the Start button action uses to check for authentication can basically be copied and pasted with little modification into the Stop button action. I know zilch about Cocoa though, so I could be way off-base.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Checking if it is a duplicate of Bug#28854.

This is a duplicate of Bug#28854, it works in Leopard with the updated MySQL.prefPane.
