<para>
The <command>rdadmin</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> module is used
to manage the configuration of the Rivendell Radio Automation System.
When started with no arguments, it will prompt for the credentials of a
Rivendell user that has the
<userinput>Administer System</userinput> or
<userinput>Administer RSS Feeds</userinput> permissions.
If authentication of those credentials is successful, it will then
display the main <command>rdadmin</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
button menu.
</para>
<para>
If invoked by a system user with an effective user id of
<userinput>0</userinput>
--i.e. &quot;root&quot; -- and the <userinput>--add-host-entry</userinput>
option is specified, <command>rdadmin</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
will bypass the login process and prompt the user to create a new host
entry for the local system, following which it will exit.
</para>

<command>rdadmin</command><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>, see the
<userinput>Rivendell Administration</userinput> section of the
<userinput>Rivendell Operations Guide</userinput>.
