[hobbit] Hobbit Login Credentials

[Rich Smrcina]

According to the rpm spec file a user called hobbit is created, but no 
password is assigned to it.  Some password would need to be assigned in 
order for the account to work, so I would have to guess that that was done.

If Hobbit was installed from source, the same rationale applies.  A 
'hobbit' (maybe) user was created and a password was assigned.
