Bug Description
The RPM packages default the percona mysql user to root. I understand why this is done, but it is not secure. The default user should be mysql, or some other user not to conflict with the OS (fedora/centos/rhel etc).
The typical way to handle this is with an /etc/sysconfig/
Thanks,
Rob

Hello Rob,
I just checked our packages and the default user that the server runs the mysqld program with is mysql. Perhaps I'm not understanding the issue, could you please elaborate?
Thanks,
Ignacio.
