Trying to be guess whether a password is needed seems rather risky as the database could very well be on a different server, don't you think? I also noticed that in horde2, the config script tries to retrieve the local admin password using mysql-localadmpass.get, but it does not check at all if we are indeed installing the database on the local server.. As for prompting at purge, isn't that a big no-no?
