Description
Could you add an option where the MySQL server does authentication by the Linux system
account of the other end of the (local) connection?
This will only work for local connections, but is very handy. Passwords would no longer
be needed, making it both more secure and easier.
In addition to user name/password, the privilege tables should contain a unix_account
column.

Re: Authenticate by Linux system account
you misunderstood 
nothing else was implemented, besides what's already done.
I was simply going over old tickets, looking where we forgot to update the status.
The link was mentioned here:

To the mapping issue I responded here:

Re: Authenticate by Linux system account
No Olaf, please, let's not use one bug report for different things, renaming the synopsis.
I also want the mapping (although, I think it should be done on a different layer), but please, create a new bug report or, better, WL entry, instead of hijacking an existing one.

Sure: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+bug/733893
Where do I create WL entries?

This is already implemented in 5.2.
