[Koha] Question about values for create_surperlibrian.pl

P.S. A *find / -name koha-conf.xml* only turns up */root/koha-conf.xml* (a
backup copy I made before fiddling with the files), and a *<serverinfo
id="biblioserver">* tag which contains populated *<ccel2rpn>*,*<user>*, and
*<password>* tags, alongside similar tags for an "*authorityserver*" ID and
a commented out *PUBLICSERVER* entry. I tried the default value, my own
specified values, and the password provided by *koha-passwd catalog*
(should I drop a trailing "@"?).

There seems to be some disconnect in my installation as I essentially
tried this, that, and the other and have never managed to log in.`

Maybe I should go back to trying to find data (from MariaDB data?) to
create a (possibly additional) superlibrarian?


Thanks for any help,
