DXSpider #logon


 

When I started up the new HamIQ installation, the logon screen showed an option of DXSpider Sysop, requiring a password. What is the default password?

I was wondering the same when I saw it, and based on some older posts I found in the Ham-Pi group, its not for our access.


 

DXSpyder Sysop account is for administering the DXSpyder software... It's actually quite old?software -- it runs off of *gasp* ... Perl!

You are not supposed to log in as the sysop account directly. You need to sudo into it from the pi login (or whatever login you are using):

This will get you in:

Open a terminal and type:

sudo -i -u sysop

Also, the HamPi wiki has some?documentation here:?

Hope this helps.

I stand corrected. I had read a couple posts somewhere that the DXSpyder access was totally off limits.


 

That poster was misinformed. However, I do not know much about DXSpyder.... It is a very old program, but one which looks like it still works well -- as long as one knows what they're doing with it.
