mariadb-secure-installation script fails to set root password
Issue
- After running the
mariadb-secure-installationscript with no errors -> setting the root password -> the root user is still able to login without a password. - If a password is specified when logging in as the root user, then any input is accepted (no password, incorrect password, correct password) and the root user is logged in.
