Installing the updates requires knowing the password for the "Update
Manager", the password required to perform administrative tasks.
We changed the root password on the machine (ARECATREE.MIT.EDU) but
are not aware of the "Update Manager" password.
Can you supply the "Update manager' password to us?
Thanks.
