[Coder-Com] R:Line Password Patch

[Nikolai Dahlem]

Hi,

I made a patch so that the external program called by an R:Line is supplied 
with the password as a fifth argument. Now I can move my millions of 
I:lines into a database :-) Feedback is very welcome, I'm currently writing 
a small programm to check against a mysql-db, maybe this would be of 
interest for some other users out there.

Tell me what u think

Nikolai Dahlem
