In addition to recovering your lost/forgotten passwords, it can also help you to audit Mysql database server setup in an corporate environment by discovering the weak password configurations.
What a nice euphemism. :) The only thing legitimate database administrators really need to know is: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix If anyone wanted to write a real tool for auditing mysql they would look at query logs and generate a list of least-privilege permissions each user needs and identify database users with overly broad permissions based on past usage. Anyone know if such a tool exists? I keep hoping the ingenious maatkit folks will come up with something along these lines. -- Tracy Reed
