The best way to secure: set a root password. Also enable access to the db server from only the instance IP addresses. Scalr also has a script for that which you can use.

Hi, I have a message in syslog that says that the MySQL server contains three root accounts without password: "/etc/mysql/debian-start, 1417, WARNING: mysql.user contains 3 root accounts without password!" I checked phpmyadmin and see that there are three root accounts, see screenshot. I'm guessing that I'll brake something if I simple login and set the password for the root user? I'd like to have a decent security setup, in particular on the database server. Is there anything I can do to strengthened the security around the MySQL root accounts? /Thanks Jonas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scalr-discuss" group.
