Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.41-3
Severity: normal
Hi MySQL-Team,
While installating a Debian development box today including an KDE desktop,
mysql-server was pulled in via akonadi-server. I was asked for a root
password for MySQL for security reasons.
I did not want to set any, knowing that I will forget before the next
debconf question comes up. And I don't care, I know I can reset the
MySQL password as long as I can log in as root (system) user.
So I just left the password empty.
This lead to debconf asking me for the mysql server password two more (!)
times. I also get this message regularly on my old system and got rid of
it by using "foobar" as the password.
Perhaps I is just me but I think having another bunch of passwords does
not help security at all. Isn't there any other option in the MySQL
case than asking another password?
For akonadi it would perhaps make sense to be able to install an mysql
server without enabling it on boot at system level. AFAIK, akonadi
starts its own instance of the database daemon.
Greetings, Torsten
