Ok, I now have a working version which: * Lower the priority of the debconf prompt for the root password to medium, to avoid asking for it during installation. * Add resetpasswd option to init script. * Set random root password on installation if no password given. * Warn about random password on each start and explain about resetpasswd.
However, after talking to Martin Pitt, we've decided to try to actually *fix* things rather than patch them. I'll be filling a bug against the debian package by the end of this week (or if someone else has the time, feel free to do so) and discuss it with them. -- Root password policy for mysql https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
