Update DirectAdmin License

Update DirectAdmin License

Hi,

To change the directadmin 'admin' password you have to do from SSH, since it uses the system user:

======================================================================
passwd admin
======================================================================

Then make sure to update that password in the documentation here:

======================================================================
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt
======================================================================


This is how to refresh your license via SSH:
======================================================================
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts

[root@server scripts]# egrep "id" /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/setup.txt
uid=17xxx
lid=90xxx

[root@server scripts]# ./getLicense.sh 17xxx 90xxx 67.22.xxx.xx
