#2628: db.login does not ask for password as PostgreSQL database driver manual page says --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: wenzeslaus | Owner: grass-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.1.0 Component: Database | Version: svn-trunk Keywords: db.login, postgres | Platform: Linux Cpu: Unspecified | --------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Comment(by neteler): Replying to [ticket:2628 wenzeslaus]: ... > I was not prompted for the password at any point. So it seems that either the manual page is wrong or `db.connect` does not work as expected. The interactive password prompting was removed in r32551. See also comment:6:ticket:1951 > I think that I actually got the `db.tables` error message ("no password supplied") twice as presented above. > > Setting the password in command line works (but of course exposes the password in the bash history file). ... a major security flaw. > I don't think this is related to #2626 or #2627. I don't know if it is related to #1951. > > By the way, ''PostgreSQL DATABASE DRIVER'' title should be probably changed to ''PostgreSQL database driver'' (better typography, no reason for all uppercase). (Not sure where that is but please just fix it).
