[Dxspider-support] Remote sysop'ing

[Dirk Koopman]

If the password is *not set* you still get 5 random numbers ([small] 
"security" feature). Just set it (with set/password). But to do that you 
will need to ssh to the box, as the sysop. If you can ssh to the box as 
sysop, why not just do that instead anyway and use console.pl (or as I 
do, have it symlinked as /usr/bin/dx and just type 'dx')?
