Can't login to unix mysql user

Viewed 626

I'm trying to login to my mysql user created by the MySQL installation in bash shell. So the command I'm trying to do is:

sudo -i -u mysql

But, it does nothing (nothing printed out in the console, not connected to any user whatsoever, etc...). EDIT: The return value of the command is 1 though.

Here is the mysql user line in the /etc/passwd file:

mysql:x:89:89::/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false

I'm running on ArchLinux 64bit and the user I'm trying to connect to is local (no connection to a remote server whatsoever).

I'm trying to understand why I can login with any other user (like postgres, root, ...) but not mysql.

Hope you can help!
