Bug Description

I tired Percona Server 5.6.13/5.6.14 on CentOS 5/CentOS 6 and found that root password is not set implicitly. As per MySQL manual from MySQL 5.6.8, new RPM install operations invoke mysql_install_db with the --random-passwords option that provides for more secure MySQL installation. That is not the case here, Check below output for detail.

[root@centos63 download]# rpm -ivh Percona-Server-56-debuginfo-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-client-56-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-devel-56-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-server-56-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-shared-56-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm Percona-Server-test-56-5.6.13-rc60.6.427.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

2013-10-07 02:27:50 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentation for more details).

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h centos63 password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

Yes, AlexeyB also confirmed.

As a sidenote, MySQL 5.1 from Centos distribution is installed without password also. But this may be due to 5.5/5.6 change in MS since then.

May make sense to check 5.5 behavior also.

mysql_install_db --random-passwords is a new feature in 5.6, thus Invalid for 5.1/5.5.
