MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. Started by core members of the original MySQL team, MariaDB actively works with outside developers to deliver the most featureful, stable, and sanely licensed open SQL server in the industry.

In Debian, the default install is made more secure by omitting the anonymous
user and by making the root account authenticate by unix socket
authentication instead of the default password-less root. However, Debian
hard-codes this change in mysql_install_db, which breaks that program for
other users.
This commit instead implements new general options for mysql_install_db that
can be used by anyone to similarly perform a more secure install:
--skip-auth-anonymous-user: omits the anonymous user.
--auth-root-authentication-method=normal: Keeps the existing behaviour
with a password-less root account. Currently on by default.
--auth-root-socket-user=USER
--auth-root-authentication-method=socket: creates the MariaDB root user
with the name USER (defaults to 'root') and using unix socket
authentication. This way, only that user has MariaDB root access
after install.
The idea with --auth-root-authentication-method=normal is that
applications that need this behaviour can give that option explicitly.
Then eventually we could make --auth-root-authentication-method=socket
the default, giving a more secure default installation.
Note that it is perfectly possible to do a secure install with
--auth-root-authentication-method=normal. For example, installing a
private server just for local access by a single OS-level user, by
using --skip-networking and putting the connection socket in a
location without public access. So it is important to preserve this
API for backwards compatibility.

MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance. MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB. MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariadB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community. MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors. A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at: http://mariadb.org/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/ As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable. More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss and the #maria IRC channel on Freenode. *************************************************************************** NOTE: MariaDB is specifically available only under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPLv2).
