RE: [cobalt-developers] Re: .htaccess again

["Gilbert, Mark" <MGilbert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Declan:

Before you edit the access.conf file with pico, you will need to switch over
to the "root" account by logging into the server through telnet as "admin",
running "su root" to switch over to the root account, and entering the
"admin" password again (root and admin use the same password).

BE CAREFUL!!  While you are logged in as "root" you can do ANYTHING to the
server, including deleting critical program files.  I usually stay logged in
as "root" only as much as I absolutely need to, and not a second longer.

Good luck!
