Can I set some MySQL configuration only for specific accounts on cPanel/WHM?

Question

I want set lower-case-table-names=1 just for one account in my VPS, is there any way for that?

I try ~/.my.cnf:

[mysqld]
lower_case_table_names = 1

and

lower_case_table_names = 1

but when I try check it, I get this error:

xxx# /scripts/check_users_my_cnf
        The file '/home/xxx/.my.cnf' is invalid:
                1
1
Successfully unlinked '/home/xxx/.my.cnf'.

what is the problem in /home/xxx/.my.cnf
