mysqldump and security

[Christopher R. Jones]

I found that I can use mysqldump --tab=c:\temp mysql to dump all the
information about users and priviliges no mater who I am logged onto the NT
workstation as.  I would have thought that I would have had to tell
mysqldump that I was the root user and give the proper password??
