 Description   

As per the documentation, defaults-group-suffix option should work with mariadb-secure-installation script. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-secure-installation/

But when we try to run, getting error like unknown variable. 

[root@localhost ~]# mariadb-secure-installation --defaults-group-suffix=.lz

...
 
Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
/usr/bin/mariadb: unknown variable 'defaults-group-suffix=.lz'
 
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Even in the script we don't see that option mentioned. 

[root@localhost ~]# head -50 /usr/bin/mariadb-secure-installation
 
#!/bin/sh
