in thread Keeping MySQL connection parameters in a safe place

Doesn't the user the app runs under still have to have read access to the file or does the mysql user have to have read access to the file? I'm wondering where the additional safety benefits are coming in over using your own config file.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
