[freeside] Freeside-RT integration issues (Fixed)

[Shivkumar]

hi,
Ive managed to get it working now.
Vlad's hint helped; i had to modify the user attributes of the freeside 
user to enable him to create new users. Also,
hidden somewhere in the error report was a small "sh: psql not found" ( 
the same old path prob).
I modified the $PATH to include the path to the psql binary and now
#make create-rt works fine! and I am able to access the web-ui of RT 
through the Freeside main menu
Now to set up mailgate etc.....
Thanks a lot for all the help people!

Regards,

Shivkumar
