<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yeah I thought as much on the root
access question but I thought I'd ask :) However, the machine I
was thinking I'd potentially configure for root access is cut off
from the outside world; inaccessible except from within my own
network. My other server (different physical machine) is
accessible however and I'd never configure that with root access.<br>

Thanks a lot for your input :)<br>

Is not theoretical issue is real big security problem.<br>
<br>
I am assuming you have a connected server to Internet and is not a
home network.<br>
The short answer is "No". Never use root password for a service a<span

A user for all databases?:<br>
Yes, Why not?<br>
<br>
Add some additional security to your database server.<br>
Strong Username/password credentials<br>
Setup your MySQL server in other port than 3306<br>
Setup your MySQL server for allow connections from some
configured hosts.<br>
Setup your Firewall tables database server port for accept
only from configured IPs<br>
