PhpMyAdmin; Should I disable root login?
- by Camran
I have this setup in Phpmyadmin:
USER HOST PASSW PRIVILEGES GRANT
debian-sys-maint localhost Yes ALL PRIVILEGES YES
phpmyadmin localhost Yes USAGE NO
root 127.0.0.1 Yes ALL PRIVILEGES YES
root localhost Yes ALL PRIVILEGES YES
root my_hostname Yes ALL PRIVILEGES YES
username localhost Yes ALL PRIVILEGES YES
Where "username" is my username and "my_hostname" is my hostname.
I am currently only logging in as the last one (username, localhost).
Also, I have php which also uses the last ones login details.
Should I disable the other ones?
And, what other security measures should I take?
BTW: My server is Linux and I have root access.
Thanks
