Kumar,

Can I suggest that a password is set (perhaps take a look at the Debian MySQL 
server package which does something similar for the debian-sys-maint in 
the /etc/mysql/debian.cnf file).  Limiting access to local hosts is an 
improvement, but as noted it does not guard against local privilege 
escalation attacks.
