Hi,
what is the reason for setting this default values to false?
$cfg['ShowMysqlInfo'] = FALSE; // whether to display the "MySQL runtime $cfg['ShowMysqlVars'] = FALSE; // information", "MySQL system variables", "PHP $cfg['ShowPhpInfo'] = FALSE; // information" and "change password" links for $cfg['ShowChgPassword'] = FALSE; // simple users or not
About the SHOW PHP info, there was a time when the cookie containing the password was visible there in plain text, it might explain the reason for this default.
For mysqlinfo and mysqlvars, I think it was determined that this is information useful for a system admin.
For the password change, I think that most of users, if they have the possibility of changing their password, will do it, then will complain in phpMyAdmin support forums because all their other MySQL apps are now broken.
