Thanks, I've fixed that by using an empty defaults file so any /root/.my.cnf will be ignored. The bug will be fixed in the next upload of 1.7.1-1 to unstable. > I had a look at > http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/password-security-user.html and > even though using the -p parameter is not advised, the use of > MYSQL_PWD is not recommended either. Yes, thats right. The "problem" is that /proc/<processid>/environ might be readable to other users. But I don't think this will be a problem here, because on linux only the process owner can read such a file - and root of course. Please let me know if you have any additions.
