[horde] Logging in as Admin

I've looked everywhere and I cant find a thorough explanation of this
concept. In some of the projects (Rakim, Jonah), it states the following:
" You must login to Horde as a Horde Administrator to finish the
configuring of Rakim. Use the Horde "Administration" menu item to get
to the Administration page, and then click on the "Configuration"
icon to get the Configuration page. Select "Tasks" from the selection
list of applications, and click on the "Configure" button. Fill in or
change any configuration values as needed. When done click on "Generate
Tasks Configuration" to generate the conf.php file. If your web server
doesn't have write permissions to the Rakim configuration directory or
file, it will not be able to write the file. In this case, cut and
paste the returned configuration information into the file
rakim/config/conf.php."
This makes absolutely no sense to me. I didnt even know of an
'Administration' screen when I (successfully) installed Horde *and*
Kronolith.
So, I did some googling, found a few other people with this exact same
problem, and found snippets of what seems to be the answer.
Here's an example of one of these snippets found on this page
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.horde.agora/2):
---------------------
>From horde/config/conf.php.dist:
// Which users should be treated as administrators (root, super-user)
// by Horde? Example: $conf['auth']['admins'] = array('admin', 'john');
$conf['auth']['admins'] = array();
Jan.
-----------------
Ok, well, there is no 'conf.php' file in my horde distrobution. I'm using
Horde 2.2.5, downloaded directly from the web site. No CVS version. The
'stable' one.
I did a grep on all files in the horde directory and found nothign that even
talked about adding administrators.
Can someone toss me a bone? I've been searching for this 'Administration'
page, or at least some hints as to where it might be, and am comming up
totally empty handed.
I've never used Horde before this 2.2.5 (this week) so was this Admin Panel
in an earlier version? Do the CVS versions of Rakim (which I've tried) and
Jonah (again, CVS version of this) no longer work with Horde 2.2.5 since the
docs/INSTALL state explicitly to go into the 'Administrators Panel'?
