Hello list: I just finished an installation of mySQL,
I am trying to manage the SQL server from the Webmin module for mysql. As soon
as I finished the installation I remembered to set the root password for the
mySQL server however, I went to the Webmin module to see what users were existent
and this is what I saw:
How come I have 2 root users? Do I need them both? And how
can I set the password for the root user that has no password currently. The
ZEUS.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL host is the computer where I installed mySQL to, in other
words it is the computer that I am accessing. And as you can see it has all the
same permissions as the root user from the localhost Host. I know that I use
the first root user whenever I am accessing the mySQL server locally, however
when would I use the second root account that accesses the mySQL server from
ZEUS.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL? since Zeus is the computer where
mySQL is installed isn’t that the same thing as accessing fomr localhost?
SO do I really need that second root user account? Thanx! |
