</div>BTW, I think this check is completely bogus and I think we should patch<br>
Akonadi to just work as root.<br>
<br>
The justification given is completely bullshit since MySQL does NOT listen<br>
on a TCP/IP port (only on a local Unix socket accessible only to root) when<br>
configured the way Akonadi configures it. So you're NOT running an Internet-<br>
facing application as root. And it's easy for Akonadi to make it just work,<br>
just put user=root into the config file if run as root.<br>
