[Users] docs and mysql passwords

[Mark Kent]

Hello, I'm new to openser and am trying to get things set up with OSP
on freebsd (5.4, but I'm open to using another version).

I have one question and one suggestion:

Suggestion: the docs at http://openser.org/docs.php should point at
the manuals present at iptel.org (Admin guide and Developer's guide).
Without that info, there is an enormous gap in what one has to know.

In particular, 'man openser' says:

     Full documentation on openser is available at  http://www.openser.org/.

but, AFAICT, it's not "Full" without the critical foundation
provided by these documents:

http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/seruser/seruser.pdf
http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/serdev/serdev.pdf

Question:

The INSTALL for openser-1.0.1 says:

>> 8) default values (database url, users and passwords) are:
>> - DEFAULT_DB_URL="mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/openser"
>> - r/w user: openser ; passwd: openserrw
>> - r/o user: openserro ; passwd: openserro
>>   NOTE: for security reasons, do change the values of passwords
>>   after installation

Once the passwords are changed in mysql (using mysql directly), 
what is the best and complete way to let openser know about the new
passwords?

The passwords seem to appear in openserctl and openser_mysql.sh.
Are we really supposed to edit these scripts?  Where else should
we "record" these passwords?

Thanks,
