    after reading "Hardening_wordpress" i suggest you to Encrypt wp config.php file
    because if you are on Shared Host and if it's not secured well, then hackers can read your config file and also they can try to connect to your database easily !
    i used "PHP Encoder" before and it was good...

    Right, obfuscation makes some sense. It will save from dumb robots that expect to find login details in plain text.
