NOTE: MariaDB is secure by default in Debian. Running this script is
useless at best, and misleading at worst. This script will be
removed in a future MariaDB release in Debian. Please read
/usr/share/doc/mariadb-server/README.Debian.gz for details.
Enter root user password or leave blank:
Enter current password for root (enter for none):

Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n]

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
SQL executed without errors!
The operation might have been successful, or it might have not done anything.
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]
SQL executed without errors!
The operation might have been successful, or it might have not done anything.
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]
- Dropping test database...
SQL executed without errors!
The operation might have been successful, or it might have not done anything.
- Removing privileges on test database...
SQL executed without errors!
The operation might have been successful, or it might have not done anything.
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
