I forgot to add that what makes this worse is connecting directly using --host 127.0.0.1 (or if server is bound to IPv6 --host ::1) the same error occurs. The mysql.user entries for root@127.0.0.1 and root@::1 are never reached due to the reverse name lookup.
I tried to get around that one by editing /etc/hosts and changing the 'localhost' name and restarting the server but it still reverses the host IP to 'localhost' for the log-in test. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561062 Title: Password not required for mysql root user (MariaDB) even when set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.0/+bug/1561062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
