No, the database.yml does not (necessarily) describe the login  
credentials for the server itself--it only gives you access to the  
database--and so cannot be used as a reliable source for the login  
info. SwitchTower treats all of your servers equally, and requires  
that they all have the same login. There is not currently a way to  
work around that restriction (that I'm aware of).
