That sentence has been overused way too much. If you want to remove all obscurity from your security, just publish your passwords and private keys. > If none of your MySQL (or samba) servers are open to untrusted > networks, why do you need to hide this information. Because even on a trusted network you can have untrusted agents. Think malcontent employees, viruses, et cetera. Security comes in layers, the more the better - although I do agree that this particular layer is not the first priority. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
