At least anyone can see them if they log in on mysql via telnet/SSH.

I often experience users on my machine putting their MySQL passwords in
un-protected files in their public /www area. Unfortunate as it is, knowing
the names of databases on the box reduces the task of finding password to
typing grep known_db_name *

In short I, too, would like to limit user's ability to view names of
databases. Is there a way to prevent this at the level of MySQL?
