  It's not your typical UID/PW scheme.  The password is merely a hash of
your amateur callsign.  Included with the xastir distribution is a small
executable named 'callpass'.  From a shell prompt, enter `callpass
<callsign>` and it will return an integer.  Put that value into the
'passcode' box as you are setting up the interface on the client instance.
