using mysql-create-db-user.sh --database="spex" i get:
ERROR 1044 (42000) at line 1: Access denied for user 'root'@'%' to database 'spex'
with or without .my.cfg. Also the root password still show clear.

I am on almalinux 8.4 and use mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.35-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Other than this it looks like a neat script
