I'll use this on Tuesday evening when i am next in proximity to the server. I don't think this box has Java and isn't on the internet -- doesn't GLI require Java runtime ?

Subject:Re: [greenstone-users] New installation -- can't get in as adminuser
Hi Greg,

Sorry to hear you've had trouble installing Greenstone on Linux... is there anything in particular that could be done/documented better?

You can change the "admin" user password by following these steps:

1. Source setup.bash in the gsdl directory
2. In the gsdl/etc directory, run db2txt users.db >users.db.txt
3. Run getpw, and enter your desired password (twice)
4. Copy the output of the getpw program over the password entry for the admin user in the users.db.txt file
5. Run cat users.db.txt | txt2db users.db to write the new users.db file

Note that you don't actually use this admin user for much... you don't need it for building collections with the GLI, for example.

Regards,

Michael
