Need root to install

ifmacedo opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi there, people!

I was wondering, if 'mysqludfsys' needs root's permission to be installed, why in the hell I would need this program to "become" a root through MySQL commands?

Would be easier whether we just command: $sudo su ?

Sudo command to install programs in owned server is not a trivial thing to be done during an invasion. So, if I have "sudo" permissions, I go to the system with it and not with mysqludfsys stuffs. Sorry!

because it is very danger and can run commands in the user space of current db launcher... so if your db is installed and launched in 'user-space', you don't need to sudo/root acct to install UDF....
