It is good for "fsfreeze-hook". But as for "mysql-flush.sh", users may
need to configure authentication etc. if their environments are with
non-default setup (by edditing either the script or ~/.my.cnf file).

So, I'd like to (1)move these files to scripts/, but (2)reamin .sample
suffix to indicate that users may need to modify the script.
How do you think?
