-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
