Log into the administration account
Point your browser to the Backtalk adminstration page, which has a URL
something like:
http://your.host.name/cgi-bin/adm/bt/admin/begin
You should be asked to login when you try to access this page.
You should login to the Backtalk adminstrative account,
usually called ``cfadm ''.
You should bookmark this page so you can find it easily whenever you have
adminstrative tasks to do.
The URL above runs the copy of Backtalk in the "adm" subdirectory instead
of the usual "pw" subdirectory.
This copy of Backtalk isn't really any different, but the two programs are
set up to authenticate separately, so that you can simultaneously be logged
in to the "pw" version with your regular user account and to the "adm" version
with the conference adminstration account.
This can be a little confusing, but otherwise you would have to exit and
restart your browser to change between two identities like that.
Goto the conference edit page.
There is a link on the administration page labelled "Edit a Conference".
Click on this.
Specify the conference to be edited.
You will be shown a form one box. Enter the name of the conference that
you want to edit here and kill the button labeled "Edit It".
Specify the new fairwitnesses.
The form that comes up next will include a textbox containing the current
list of fairwitnesses. Edit this.
You can list more than one fairwitness, so long as the names are separated
by commas (but not spaces).
When you are done, click on the "Change Settings" button.
Changing Fair-Witnesses From Unix:
The procedure used to change fair-witnesses from Unix
is identical to that used for Picospan or Yapp 2.3 conferences.
To change the fairwitnesses of a Backtalk conference, follow the following
steps.

they are just for your convenience.)
