8     =========================================================
9     establish basic safety privileges
10     =========================================================
11    
12     - we assume a running mysql-daemon,
13     else start it via "safe_mysqld" or (newer versions) with "mysqld_safe" in the mysql/bin/ - directory
14     - run mysql-client: [root@host]# mysql (you should be logged in as "root")
15     - select database: mysql> use mysql;
16    
17     - deny access for user "root" from the outer space (not localhost)
18     mysql> delete from user where user='root' and host='%';
19     mysql> flush privileges;
20     - assure everything is all right and you will be able to re-login again later ;)
21     mysql> select * from user;
22     --> there should be (as a minimum) an entry like ...
23     --- snip ---
24     | localhost | root | | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y |
25     --- snip ---
26     ... which gives access-rights for user "root" at localhost with no password
27     - test for safety
28     mysql> select * from user;
29     --> there should be no other "root"-entry in the "user"-table then the one established above
30    
31    
32     =========================================================
33     add new databases and grant access to them for new mysql-user-accounts
34     =========================================================
35    
36     - we assume a running mysql-daemon,
37     else start it via "safe_mysqld" or (newer versions) with "mysqld_safe" in the mysql/bin/ - directory
38     - run mysql-client: [root@host]# mysql (you should be logged in as "root")
39    
40     - create database
41     mysql> create database <databasename>;
42    
43     - add new user
44     mysql> use mysql;
45     mysql> insert into user (host, user, password) values ('localhost', '<username>', password('<password>'));
46    
47     - grant access for local usage (e.g. from php- or cgi-scripts)
48     mysql> use mysql;
49     mysql> insert into db values ('localhost', '<databasename>', '<username>', 'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','N','Y','Y','Y');
50    
51     - apply changes to privileges
52     mysql> flush privileges;
53    
54     - test access to new database
55     - logout from mysql in "root"-mode
56     - login to mysql-daemon as newly created user using the new database
57     mysql> mysql -u<username> -p<password> <databasename>
58     or leave "<password>" empty for supplying the password invisible ;)
59     - this should work!
60    
61     - TODO:
62     - there should be a (perl-)script (perhaps there is already one coming with mysql)
63     to pass "databasename", "username" and "password" to,
64     which should execute the tasks described above non-interactively ;)
65     - note: use regression-checks
66     - don't re-create database
67     - if user already exists, just modify password!!!
68     - don't accept empty arguments!
69     - note: integrate into the gsn-framework (on the long term)
70     - user "service" should be able to access the mysqld-daemon with root-privileges from a remote location
71     in order to be able to absolve all requests seamlessly without any user interaction
