[Koha-devel] Bug 8641

[Paul]

This bug was signed off a few weeks ago, and is designed to produce a 
"warning" in the "About" page covering staff use of Koha (not sure if this 
covers all flag settings down from superlibrarian or if it applies to 3.8. 
as well as 3.10?) logging in as either "root", "admin (mysql) account" or 
"database administrative user."

I seem to remember (but could be wrong) that after a new 3.8 install, Koha 
created a "new user", number 0, which was problematic and as far as I can 
tell exhibited the signs that the warning covers (I have tried to read all 
details in bugs 8641, 8262 and 9008 plus some references to IRC.)

Maybe I'm paranoid, but could someone please clarify how far any problems 
might extend. If someone sets up a *new* Koha superlibrarian account using 
the same name/password as system (sudo) user and/or with all MySql 
privileges, permission tables should not interfere with one another, or 
overlap, even when identical user/pw combinations are used.

Surely this would only apply if staff-user is "koha" or whatever other name 
was explicitly granted MySql privileges during/immediately after Koha 
installation.

Am I mistaken?

Thanks and best regards,
Paul
