MySQL plugin connects with wrong parameters (/root/.my.cnf , /root/.mylogin.cnf)

Hi,

I have a MySQL host which has .my.cnf and .mylogin.cnf in /root (created by puppet, not under our control).

This file contains only the socket to the database, but no user/password data.
The problem is that the presence of this file (and .my.cnf as well) influences/deactivates the settings which the MySQL plugin gives mysql/msqladmin on the commandline with
--defaults-extra-file=/etc/check_mk/mysql.cfg
(see MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 4.2.2.2 Using Option Files, Table 4.2)

As a consequence, the MySQL plugin does not connect with the correct parameters.

As soon as I move .mylogin.cnf away, the plugin works as expected.

Is there any way to connect with solely the parameters set in the Plugin cfg file?
Thanks,
Simon
