So you're suggesting that because you have a firewall it's ok

have accounts without passwords? My sense of system security is
very different from your own... so maybe it's ok with you.
BTW - the accounts I was referring to are those created by mysql, which
are different from the system accounts.
And yes, I know how installs and firewall relate.
The "account" is only accessible for the current user, the mysqld is
configured to only listen on a local Unix socket only accessible to the
current user. So there's no security risk whatsoever at all.
