Thanks Bryan. I had previously tried manually inserting a new crypt() generated password in the database, but that didn't work.
I did get it working, though. My problem turns out to have been of my own making as opposed to anything wrong or broken with OTRS. It turns out that this particular FreeBSD server's crypt_default value had been modified from the default of md5 and des to use the blowfish algorithm. /etc/auth.conf had been changed from: # crypt_default = md5 des to: crypt_default = blf Undoing that change allowed me to sign in and carry on with the rest of the configuration. So far, I have to say I'm very impressed with OTRS. Apart from this bit of self-inflicted agony, the install and configuration has been very simple! My only request would be to add a comment in the docs or faq about FreeBSD users being able to shoot themselves in the foot this way. This probably isn't the right list to make such a request, so I'll do that elsewhere.
