Thanks for the comment Noah.  My choice was to keep it simple for the 
majority of users whom I'm willing to bet do all the admin work 
themselves.  To meet this market, I chose to force SSL and grant access 
to the admin user only.

Having said this, I agree with you 100%.  Advanced Authentication has 
many benefits.  In addition to Advanced Authentication, anyone truly 
concerned with security should change all the default mySQL application 
usernames/passwords, editing the applications individual config files as 
appropriate, after every install.

Again, I think your idea is excellent.  I'm note sure if a new rpm 
release incorporating it is best or if a better choice may be for you to 
create a 'phpMyAdmin Advanced Security HowTo'.  This way we have a simple 
rpm for everyone and those that have the need to tighten things up can do 
so themselves.

What does the community think?
