Re: [cobalt-developers] Solving Cobalt Problems (fwd)

["William L. Thomson Jr." <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,
    The reason behind this is most likely one of caution, since the cobalt OS/GUI is 100% dependent
an a PostgreSQL DB built by Cobalt.  As for the instructions, well you get what you pay for, so if
you are looking for free, then you will have to just use general PostgreSQL rescources. Now if you
got some money to spend, pick up a self study certification pack from Cobalt.  In one of the books
is instructions on the Cobalt PostgreSQL DB.  It tells you how to access it, walk and browse the DB,
and more.

    If you must know now, here some brief instructions.

Login in as admin, su to root

su

I prefer pico but you could use vi,

pico /etc/cobalt/.meta-id

Write down your password to the cobalt DB.

Then type exit to get back to admin

exit
