+/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation has been run to secure the server:
+
+{{{
+In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
+password for the root user.  If you've just installed MySQL, and
+you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
+so you should just press enter here.
+
+Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
+OK, successfully used password, moving on...
+
+Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
+root user without the proper authorisation.
+
+You already have a root password set, so you can safely answer 'n'.
+
+Change the root password? [Y/n] n
+ ... skipping.
+
+By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
+to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
+them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
+go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
+production environment.
+
+Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
+ ... Success!
+
+Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
+ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
+
+Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
+ ... Success!
+
+By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
+access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
+before moving into a production environment.
+
+Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
+ - Dropping test database...
+ERROR 1008 (HY000) at line 1: Can't drop database 'test'; database doesn't exist
+ ... Failed!  Not critical, keep moving...
+ - Removing privileges on test database...
+ ... Success!
+
+Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
+will take effect immediately.
+
+Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
+ ... Success!
+
+Cleaning up...
+
+All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
+installation should now be secure.
+
+Thanks for using MySQL!
