[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#532145: Acknowledgement ([osm2pgsql] osm2pgsql: always forces a password prompt - breaks unassisted map generation)

Hello,

I just looked into the code and it seems that whenever the user
parameter was given, the password prompt appeared, evn if not necessary.

Since -W forces the password prompt, I decoupled this behaviour from the
presence of the user name, allowing this way automated imports and
passwords prompts, if necessary (by providing the -W parameter).


(D)Patch is attached, I tested it on my password-less config on a lenny
machine (made a local backport) and it works properly. If used without a
password when is actually needed this message appears, (which, imo,
could be improved to add a hint, if -W wasn't present - "maybe a
password is required?"), so I'd say the fix makes sense and doesn't
break anything that worked before:

-U osm planet-rom.osm
osm2pgsql SVN version 0.52-20090607 $Rev: 7141 $

Connection to database failed: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for
user "osm"
