mySQL and LOAD DATA INFILE

I have a Client who does custom mySQL programming and needs to be able to use the LOAD DATA INFILE command. I understand this is to do with File_priv and default is turned OFF -- for security reasons.

Currently the Server is using PHP 4.3.1 & mySQL 4.0.15 -- a WHM Server.

Would anyone know how to provide this option to the one Client and if not, what the Security risks would be to turn it on Server-wide?
