Re: Many commercial databases were laughed at...

No, you didn't read the article "simple as creating a password", "since then our most popular installer, RPM, makes it so you cannot connect to MongoDB remotely ". And that's about the RPM installer only, what about the others?

I read 1) Mongo does not have a password until you create one 2) Its security just installed relies only on not being accessible outside the host - something most user will change ASAP to use the DB, while not setting a password....

It's really not different from the old habit of default known password.
