Thanks for the input.  On both things, I am not sure:  I just copies it from 
the FileMaker page 
http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7601/~/specifying-a-user-account-to-run-system-level-scripts-with-filemaker-server
 , which seemed to say the only thing I needed to change was the "yourhostname" 
which I did change to our host name. What do you think should go in the place 
of "targetpw"?
