 Description   

as we know, unix_socket plugin is installed from mariadb 10.4 by default, but this plugin has weakness point in security, so I'd like to disable it when DB start.

but, when I turn it off in my.cnf like this, it doesn't work,

[mariadb-10.4]
 
unix_socket=OFF

and log show that:

2023-04-04  9:44:48 0 [Note] InnoDB: Loading buffer pool(s) from /data/db/ib_buffer_pool
 
2023-04-04  9:44:48 0 [Note] Plugin 'FEEDBACK' is disabled.
 
230404  9:44:48 server_audit: MariaDB Audit Plugin version 1.4.13 STARTED.

so when I disable plugin in section [mariadb], it works.

[mariadb]
 
unix_socket=OFF

and log show that:

2023-04-04  9:38:16 0 [Note] InnoDB: Loading buffer pool(s) from /data/db/ib_buffer_pool
 
2023-04-04  9:38:16 0 [Note] Plugin 'FEEDBACK' is disabled.
 
2023-04-04  9:38:16 0 [Note] Plugin 'unix_socket' is disabled.

I've put

[mariadb-10.4]
 
unix_socket=OFF

in my.cnf and 10.4 was started without unix_socket plugin. You must be doing something more, if the above didn't work for you.
