Why is that nonsense? After all, it's not a company database we're 
talking about, just

- some addresses of friends and family, mainly used for sending 
Christmas cards,
- some metadata about video's I recorded,
- some data about the yield of our solar panels.

Nothing secret in that.

As said, I did not chmod it to 755, it's the opensuse default (and maybe 
other distro's too, dunno). And anyone in my family is allowed to read 
anything on our systems.

More important, you don't say anything about how I could start the 
database?
