NAME
       mariadb-secure-installation - improve MariaDB installation security
       (mysql_secure_installation is now a symlink to mariadb-secure-
       installation)

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_secure_installation

DESCRIPTION
       This program enables you to improve the security of your MariaDB
       installation in the following ways:

       o   You can set a password for root accounts.

       o   You can remove root accounts that are accessible from outside the
           local host.

       o   You can remove anonymous-user accounts.

       o   You can remove the test database, which by default can be accessed
           by anonymous users.

       mysql_secure_installation can be invoked without arguments:

           shell> mysql_secure_installation

       The script will prompt you to determine which actions to perform.

       mysql_secure_installation accepts some options:

       o   --basedir=dir_name

           Base directory.

       o   --defaults-extra-file=file_name

           Additional option file.

       o   --defaults-file=file_name

           Option file.

       o   --no-defaults

           Don't read any defaults file.

       Other unrecognized options will be passed on to the server.
