Yes we have, and after getting a little side tracked, I started from
scratch, and actually tried a test as "root" and was unsuccessful.
However this time, implementing as directed, I am very grateful to all
mythizens for my first test success.  :-))
Now all that remains is configuring the backend as per the wiki, right?

The vast wisdom, and patience that resides in this list is greatly
respected and appreciated.
