Bug #9908	administrator gets confused by multiple mysqld* sections

Version:	1.0.20	OS:	Linux (RHEL v3)
Assigned to:	Alfredo Kojima	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Since there is no setup wizard for linux I copied the sample my-large.cnf to /etc/my.cnf.
I then used the administrator and tried to change the server settings.  When the
administrator comes up is sees too sections that start with mysqld and I would guess
it thinks they are both server configurations (mysqld and mysqldump).  This is probably
a bug, but is really just an annoyance from a user perspective.  Anyway, I picked
mysqld, and then edited the paramters.  It listed server parameters, but when I saved
them it had no effect.  I then discovered that the mysql command would no longer run.
The problem there is that the administrator wrote the server parameters out to the
wrong section in the my.cnf file.  I went back into the administrator and found that
the section that is listed of the administrator is client instead of mysqld.  My guess is
an off by one error because it thinks it found two server sections.

How to repeat:
Copy my-large.cnf to /etc/my.cnf.  Use the administrator, verify that it says "client" for
the section and that the server parameters end up in the client section in the my.cnf file
when you save them.
