Re: [arch-general] mysql_secure_installation
Thanks for the clarification, at the time of installation there was no /user/.my.cnf file in existence so this makes sense. On Sun, 29 Jan 2017, David C.

If you invoke mysql (mariadb) without parameters, then it looks for a .my.conf file under the current user directory (e.g. /$HOME/.my.cnf). In your .my.conf you simple enter the mode of operation followed by the password and user, e.g. $ cat ~/.my.cnf | sed 's/password[ ]=[ ].*$/password = secret/' [mysqladmin] password = secret user = david [mysql] password = secret user = david [mysqldump] password = secret user = david [mysqlcheck] password = secret user = david The above will allow local operation of 'mysqladmin', 'mysql', 'mysqldump' and 'mysqlcheck' for my user. You can do the same for 'root', but understand it is for mysql user 'root' that just happened to check '/root/.my.conf' by default when invoked by root. --

But not so the IPv6 and internet speed problems. I went to all kinds of wiki articles about network configuration, IPv6 and DHCP, and adapted my config in several places to advices from that pages, but to no avail. Now I don't even know how to further diagnose the problem, being unable to ping IPv6 addresses and incredibly slow internet connections seem to be the only visible symptom, everything else looks just fine. And the most surprising thing is, that it worked for one single moment, see the PS, and stopped working after the next reboot - with all what I tried to make it work still untouched and in place.

A Linux distro is nothing more than a package manager, a repository, and a collection of community resources. I only realized this as time went on. Arch excels at all three.
