Would it be easier just to include by default a .htaccess file that would deny access to the admin.pl with instructions on how to remove it? Once you go to the admin.pl screen, if it has a blank password, you will get prompted to enter another one.
With the .htaccess solution, we can provide a nice description of what needs to be done to allow access, etc. What I want to avoid is people having to spend too much time looking for documentation when RPM's ideally should be plug and play. BTW, I will probably add dependencies for DBI and PostgreSQL (since we don't support other db's at the moment). Hope this helps.
