DESCRIPTION         top

       This program enables you to improve the security of your MariaDB
       installation in the following ways:
       ·   You can set a password for root accounts.
       ·   You can remove root accounts that are accessible from outside the
           local host.
       ·   You can remove anonymous-user accounts.
       ·   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:
       ·   --basedir=dir_name
           Base directory.
       ·   --defaults-extra-file=file_name
           Additional option file.
       ·   --defaults-file=file_name
           Option file.
       ·   --no-defaults
           Don't read any defaults file.
       Other unrecognized options will be passed on to the server.
