The response is NOT AUTHORIZED.

I tried using su -s backuppc and got the same response.

I tried using my regular password which was not authorized.

I tried using backuppc as the password which was also not authorized.

I looked through config.pl and could find no password and anything that
looked like it might be was "backuppc".

I have changed nothing in config.pl so the default set up should work?

All I am trying to do is get the GUI front end Web to operated.

The help tells me:

Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]

Options:
  -c, --command COMMAND         pass COMMAND to the invoked shell
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit
  -, -l, --login                make the shell a login shell
  -m, -p,
  --preserve-environment        do not reset environment variables, and
keep
                                the same shell
  -s, --shell SHELL             use SHELL instead of the default in
passwd

ALSO:
I tried a shell and entered "http://192.168.1.16/backuppc/";
and
I did the same thing using Firefox.

In both cases I got a response from I think my router after entering the
user as "backuppc" and the password as "backuppc".

I also used my name which has administrative properties -- instead of
backuppc and I also used my regular password and in all cased I get a
not authorized response and a little message indicating that probably
the password is incorrect or something to the idea that my system does
not know how to handle this kind of thing. I don't remember the exact
response.

Got any other ideas???
