[daip] PASSWD

[Nectaria Gizani]

	Hello,

I have just installed succesfully aips (!) under Redhat LINUX 9.0.

A "simple" question: Why does aips need a PASSWD? To explain more, the
problem is the following:
I type:

$ START_AIPS tv=local

aips writes its messages....

and asks for ID number, where I put "1" and then asks for a password,
which is not the password of me as a user or of the root user.

I would appreciate your help!

Many thanks in advance,

Nectaria Gizani
