Setting up a phpmyadmin config file is hardly "system
administration". It's configuration affects only itself, not the
entire system.
Can any average user joe bloggs configure phpmyadmin? If not (and I
suspect not, otherwise pandemonium is the result) then it is a system
administration task!
Only in Debian is phpMyAdmin owned by root. And no, it does NOT have to
be configured by the system administrator. A website administrator
could configure it, for instance.
Just like changing the date/time IS A system administration task! You don't
want the average joe bloggs changing the date/time whenever it takes
their fancy!
Changing the date affects everything in the system. Changing the
phpMyAdmin configuration only affects phpMyAdmin. The two do NOT have
similar effects.
