not tested the sql script below
#!/bin/bash # Make sure that NOBODY can access the server WITHOUT a password mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('CHANGEME') WHERE User = 'root'" # KILL the anonymous users mysql -e "DROP USER ''@'localhost'" # Because our hostname varies we will USE SOME Bash magic here. mysql -e "DROP USER ''@'$(hostname)'" # KILL off the demo DATABASE mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test" # Make our changes take effect mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" # Any subsequent tries TO run queries this way will GET access denied because lack OF usr/pwd param
Run the above like this :
mysql -sfu root < "mysql_secure_installation.sql"
