.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIdb.login\fR sets the user name and optionally also a password for
the connection to the selected \fBdatabase\fR through the DB \fBdriver\fR.
.SH NOTE
This is only related to SQL database backends
like MySQL
or ODBC. The passwords are stored in a
hidden unencrypted file in the user account ('home' directory)
called \fI.grasslogin64\fR. Only the file owner can access this
file.
