Guest ramakan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi, I have a Mandriva 2006 system, and I just installed MySQL and the required supporting packages. I have been able to run the MySQL daemon (mysqld) and secured the built-in accounts by creating passwords for them, as the anonymous accounts created by default have no password. However, I am wondering how secure my system is, since any user can login to the MySQL monitor with the mysql command. This command, as it works now on my system, allows any non-root user to connect to the monitor and issue SQL commands without asking for credentials. Can someone assist in changing this? I have not opened my server to the outside world yet, as I would like to secure the system first!

jboy Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Here's a fairly good reference (in .pdf format): http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articl...rence-ch14.html Also, for helpful administration tools, have you checked into MySql GUI Tools and phpMyAdmin?
