I'm wrong. It's not a database problem.

It occurred to me that since I have two machines running the same version of Rivendell, I should be able to backup the database from vipera (the machine that doesn't have the problem) and restore it to farancia (the one that does have the problem).

So, I did that. The problem persists even with the restored database from the other machine, so it's not a database problem.

Next, I tried creating a new, blank Rivendell database on farancia using rddbconfig. When I do that, rddbconfig crashes with a segmentation fault.

There must be something wrong with this Rivendell install. I'm going to blow it out, reinstall Rivendell, and see if the problem is still there.

Yes.

(The data in those dialogs mostly live
in a table called ‘USERS’, but looking directly at that won’t be
particularly helpful without a good understanding of the schema design. And,
remember, the schema has changed quite a bit between v2.1x and v2.19.x)!

I have actually looked at the USERS table on the machine (farancia) exhibiting the problem and compared it with the USERS table on another machine (vipera) I built for WZBC. Both are running 3.6.5 and have the same schema. I looked for differences between the two that might explain why farancia has the problem but vipera does not.

I did not see any differences in the USERS tables that might account for the problem.

And then, take a look at the Station entry in RDAdmin. Does the default user
exist?

I can't find a Station entry in rdadmin.

I did look at the STATIONS table in both machines' databases. Here, too, I found no differences between the two tables that might account for the problem. There were some fields like JACK_COMMAND_LINE that were blank in one table but NULL in the other, but since I'm not using JACK on either machine, I didn't think those differences were meaningful.
