I just tested here on an EL6 VM that didn't have mysql-server on it before: # grep mysql /etc/shadow mysql:!!:16079:::::: I tried to investigate further by taking a look at the mysql-server spec file, but apparently CentOS doesn't ship with a source repo configured: $ yumdownloader --source mysql-server ....noise noise noise.... No source RPM found for mysql-server-5.1.71-1.el6.i686 I looked in CentOS-Base.repo, and don't see one I can enable. Also, connections to vault.centos.org are timing out right now, so I can't build a .repo file entry by hand. So, lacking real information, I will make a wild guess as to why this happened: someone got lazy modifying an adduser/useradd command in the mysql.spec file.
