Have the Ability to Link PhpMyAdmin for users to Easily Login to their Database
this would be great, users who install WordPress cannot see the database password unless when they go into the wp-config, as they choose for automated install.
Or maybe consider Adminer instead of phpMyAdmin, because it's just a single file.
I think this is a bad idea and should not be part of core but a custom script or a custom installation... for security reasons mainly.
I don't think security is much of an issue with sane defaults. Not any more of an issue than using an external tool.
I prefer not to have any more attack vectors on my servers if I can. :)
Tunnel ssh is already the more secure way to connect to any database and that works already, so no need for anything on the server to be installed.
Just my two cents. :)
Well it should be an option to install in the first place, if you don't need it you shouldn't have it on the server. But there's many people who rely on it so it would be very nice as an option.
But that can be achieved with a script or a custom install.
I think that any efforts from ploi should be used on other tools or functionality. If ploi is implementing and supporting this, it is not doing other stuff like incremental backups ;)
There is no vote down, so I just left my comment as user. :)
