Security through obscurity?
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.
Indeed, have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_in_depth
