Sounds good.  I assume you will pick the password based on
the username/database server/database name combination?

And I'm sure you'll do security checks on the file before using it
(owned by the user, not world-readable, all parent directories have
sane permissions and ownerships.)  But I'll post this anyway as a gentle
