connected to the server.

system event log being full. You can ignore this message. Message Networking does not use this log.
2. When prompted, change the default password.
3. As soon as you log in, the system displays the Netscape browser with the Administration menu.
Note: If you have logged in with the highest access, type webadmin to display the web-based
administration pages.

displays. Read the agreement, uncheck the box labeled Display this message again, and then click
Accept.
5. The server displays the Administration main menu.
