+
+* Get total RAM/swap
+* Is a login possible?
+    * Force socket?
+    * Remote connection?
+        * _Specifying available RAM is required_
+    * Got user/pass on command line?
+    * mysql-quickbackup credentials available?
+    * Plesk credentials available?
+    * DirectAdmin credentials available?
+    * Debian maintenance account credentials available?
+    * Just try a login
+        * If working, and .my.cnf isn't there, **WARNING**
+        * If working, and .my.cnf is there, okay
+    * Prompt for creds on the console
+* Security checks
+    * Is anonymous user present?
+    * Users without passwords
+    * Users w/username as password
+    * Users w/o host restriction
+    * Weak password check (possibly using cracklib later?)
+* EOL MySQL version check
+* 32-bit w/>2GB RAM check
+* Get storage engine counts/stats
