Assuming you're running mythlink.pl as the same user as
myth[front|back]end runs as, it should be pulling the database host,
user, and password from $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml.

If you are running as a different user, its probably easier to
copy/link the myth user's ~/.mythtv/config.xml to your own home dir.
