Right, I finally got LedgerSMB installed and then when I point IceWeasel 
at http://127.0.0.1/ledgersmb/admin.pl (it's on a cleanly installed 
Debian Etch under VBox) VOILA! up it comes with a request to enter a 
password. So home and dry?

No. There's a problem. It won't let me in with any password I've used in 
the config process.

I used the default passwords as used in the installation instructions 
which are POSTGRESPASSWORD, MYROLEPASSWORD and when doing adduser 
ledgersmb I used the password MICK. Finally in the UPDATE users_conf SET 
password-md5('MYPASSWORD') WHERE id = 1;

I've tried all them and it returns Access Denied in red letters.

So.....  nearly there but still stymied. Any advice would be most welcome.

Have fun at the gangshow later today.
