So maybe we should complement MySQLinfo with an entirely separate script....

Well, if it is only testing a few common defaults and is unlikely to
cause DB lockouts, it is probably OK to include in a single script.
But yes, a major brute forcing script should probably be separate from
one which simply gathers some available information from the DB.


I think I agree with jah.  Since it seems like it will require quite a 
bit of work, including adding the SSL bindings, it might be best to have 
a script like mine which just gathers the general information, and then 
have one based on Thomas's (and maybe partially my) code for brute forcing.

What do you guys think?
