Why are you using your root user to test the database? All you really need to do is grant USAGE rights to test user and then not give them rights to anything else. From here, you can use your resource file to put the password in there, and with proper permissions, only root and the nagios user can read that file. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
