[GRASS5] [bug #2499] (grass) v.database db.connect

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2499
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

hello,

using v.database or db.connect i expected to be prompted for a password at
command line or by a popup window but i got just an error message concerning
user/password. i could enter the database only by this option which wasn't
documented anywhere:

v.database dr=pg database="host=xxx,dbname=sabine,user=sabine,password=pwd"

markus neteler suggested me to report this bug.

yours, sabine
