No, this means you apparently copied over the catalog template without
running the "makecat" program. Normally makecat substitutes a username and
encrypted password for those markers.
In other words, you never had this particular catalog working in the
normal way. I don't know how you got access.gdbm in place with the
right values. Perhaps you have a MySQL access table?
In any case if you make the values be:
admin pauONM/HSu9pM
instead of
__MVC_SUPERUSER__ __MVC_CRYPTPW__
You will be able to log in with user "admin" and password "pass".
