I've had a question that I haven't really seen addressed anywhere... Is it okay to change the default "root" user name to a different name? Any issues involved by doing so?
The reason I ask is that it seems to me that, because everyone knows that MySQL installs with the root user, one simple extra security measure would be to change the name; then someone pounding your server trying all possible password combos with root won't stand a chance. Am I missing anything?
