I have no idea where that file might be. Maybe in /arbor?

I already said.

Code:
export ARBORDIR
ARBORDIR=/arbor

But why? What if the file isn't there? Wouldn't it make sense for you to try to determine where it is, than just guessing, or assuming?

Try:
Code:
find /arbor -name ".arborpw" 2> /dev/null

If you find it, sed ARBORDIR= to it, as shown previously. If not, ask the person who wrote the whole arbor nonsenses anyway where it is.

I just executed your command

find /arbor -name ".arborpw" 2> /dev/null

But it returned nothing.
