Symbiosis: Request: Write mysql root credentials to /root/.my.cnf when imaging.
Imported from https://www.github.com/BytemarkHosting/symbiosis/issues/56
(Note: This may be something for imager, or Stretch, but applied to Symbiosis images only)
It's never clear that the root, admin and mysql root@localhost users all have the same password in a newly imaged machine, which leads to users likely changing the root/admin passwords like they should, and not making note of the root@localhost password we set for mysql.
Simply writing the below to /root/.my.cnf (with relevant permissions) would make password recovery simpler, and allow the user to log in directly.
[client]
user=root
password="<example>"There's a small outside risk to this, by keeping it in /root would negate most of this, and make things simpler for users.
