Greetings,
I have been working with a software provider whose software db
configuration uses the default mysql installation (ie, root, no
password). They contend that since the mysql server itself is not
shared (ie, installed on a vps for a single user) that there is no
need to add a password. Are they correct? All the documentation I
have every read recommends at the very least immediately adding a
password. Please advise.
No. They're incorrect.
Running as root is an invitation for trouble.
Running without a password is an invitation for trouble.
Best regards,
Nicole
