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.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
