I'm not familiar with MySQL very well but reading the docs further gives
this:

On Unix, Linux and Mac OS X, MySQL programs read startup options from the
following files, in the specified order (top items are used first).
 File Name Purpose /etc/my.cnf Global options *SYSCONFDIR*/my.cnf Global
options $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf Server-specific options defaults-extra-file The
file specified with
--defaults-extra-file=*path*<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/option-files.html#option_general_defaults-extra-file>,
if any ~/.my.cnf User-specific options

So there's a user specific file for that.
