Honestly, the truth is that all of those sample configuration files are
all but worthless.  They are hopelessy outdated and in many cases
actually harmful.  (Red Hat's standard MySQL configuration, for example,
contains only one directive that actually does anything, and what it
does is force the old MySQL 3 password hashing scheme which has been
known for fifteen years to be dangerously insecure.)


You are much, much better off to learn how to properrly configure MySQL
and write a configuration appropriate to your DB server and workload.
The "sample" configurations will lead you astray.  They are uniformly bad.
