/home/username/.my.cnf ??

Hi

I noticed some files that are located under the users folders called .my.cnf such :

/home/linuxusername/.my.cnf

and those files have users and passwords (for mysql it seems) like this

user=linuxusername
pass=somepassword


what are those files ???

I know that the MySQL server uses the global conf. file /etc/my.cnf so what are those files ??

and in the CPanel setup (that I am using) all databases and databases users have the notation :

linuxusernam_someDBname
linuxusername_dbusername




best regards
