If pmacct cannot connect to the PostgreSQL database for whatever reason,
pmacct writes the credentials in plain text to the log.

A bugfix has already been submitted to the official repository on GitHub
by me as a merge request and accepted.

Now it just needs to be merged into the Debian version in the official
Debian repositories.
