The text of the example refers to the "admin" entry. Obviously an "entry" refers to an entry in the database.
Well, ok then. Btw you're reading guide for 2.4.x (and you have 2.3.x).
Yes, I know.
We've stated time and time again, use the docs that came with the version of the software you're running. You're being deliberately obtuse here.
I'm using CentOS (RHEL).
I don't need a heavyweight application and I would prefer something that is installed from a CentOS/RHEL repository, rather than installed from source -- that is something under the O/S's package management system.
Then go waste RedHat's time, not ours. 2.3 has been phased out. 2.4 has been available since 2007. If you want to use the outdated stuff your vendor provides, then you should be getting support from your vendor as well.
