It depends on the variable. Can you give an example of the variable you are
trying to set?
As far as the load data infile, I believe it depends on how your database
will be accessed.
If you have a need for remote administration or are working with
geographically separated databases then the ability to load data from a
different may be useful. While if you are
only working from the local machine and you want to further lock down the
system then
disabling this may be a good decision.

Subject: security reason for not using load data infile local?
Hello, MySQL gurus,
Sometimes the 'local' option of 'load data infile' is disabled
for
security reasons (that is what I got from web). What could be the
security
problem? I have another question, is there any way to change a variable
of
mysql server without shutting it down?
Thank you for help
