Store username/password encrypted in master info repository

[Matthias Glößl]

hi,
when setting up replication i get the following warning when issuing change-master-to with username and password:
"1760: Storing MySQL user name or password information in the master info repository is not secure and is therefore not recommended. Please consider using the USER and PASSWORD connection options for START SLAVE; see the 'START SLAVE Syntax' in the MySQL Manual for more information."

so i issued the change-master-to without specifying username/password and started the slave with the user and password option, which is working fine until a restart of the slave-machine happens. then the slave isn't working anymore until i stop it (stop slave) and start it with user/password again.

since i don't want to enter user/password after every restart, is there a way storing username/password encrypted in the master info repository?

kind regards,
matthias
