mysqld_safe process

2003-06-13 Thread Dingfelder Andy
Hi all,

is it ok, that the mysqld_safe process runs under the root account!
Shouldn´t that be the mysql account, too?

10317 root   9   0  1060 1060   876 S 0.0  0.0   0:00 mysqld_safe
10359 mysql  9   0  1436 1436  1044 S 0.0  0.0   0:00 mysqld
10361 mysql  8   0  1436 1436  1044 S 0.0  0.0   0:00 mysqld
10362 mysql  9   0  1436 1436  1044 S 0.0  0.0   0:00 mysqld

Greetings
Andy

Hi,

ok, now I understand!
I was just a little bit confused, because I got a preinstalled 
virtual server with MySQL already installed on it! The
user 'mysql' was a shell user:

mysql:x:27:27:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/bash

Thanks for your help!!
Regards
Andy

Hi,

I?ve forgot to say, that i?m a newbie to linux.
So, what do you want to say, with these lines?
That the 'mysql' user is not a shell user?

Greetz
Andy

mysql linux user

2003-06-06 Thread Dingfelder Andy
Hello,

if I install mysql under linux, there is a user created calld 'mysql'.
My question is, whether this user has a default password, which should be
changed
to avoid security problems?

Regards
Andy

AW: Hi,

2001-02-10 Thread Dingfelder Andy

Hello Murrat,

is it possible, that someone deletes your mysql-database or the host table?
Maybe yourself?

The server needs this table for the "authorization rules", and a deletion
should be avoided!

Hope that helps.

Regards
Andy

2001-02-08 Thread Dingfelder Andy

Hello Konstantin,

this code is buggy, because 'new' is not a valid C operator.
And MYSQL is a struct not an object.

The 'new' operator allocates memory for objects (C++).
In C you?ve to use the malloc function.

Take a look at the libmysqltest example, which comes with your distribution.

Regards
Andy
