Perhaps a db user created on install with a random passwd (chmod 0600), saved under /etc which only has permission to drop the database. Like mysql uses to restart the database. of course, this is just moving the problem to a different file, but if the server is local, anyone with root access can just delete the database by hand anyhow. -- ---------------------------- | Josh Lauricha | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Bioinformatics, UCR | |--------------------------| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
