== Rsync Configuration ==

All things rsync currently live on bugzilla.spamassassin.org under the /home/corpus-rsync directory.  There's really 2 types of users for rsync: nightly result submitters, and score generation result submitters.  The process of adding an account is the same for both, just using a different file for authorization.  Use "sudo" to access the files.

 1. Determine the username for the requestor.  We typically use first initial/last name.
 1. Come up with a random password.  Something like [http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/online/index.php APG] can help.
 1. Put the "username:password" pair in the appropriate file.
 1. Mail the user a non-descript message with the username and password in it.

Nightly submitters get added to the "secrets" file, and also add their real name and email to the file "result-acct".  When preparing for a score generation run, overwrite the "secrets-submit" file with the "secrets" file, and add anyone else who is only interested in score generation.  At the end of the score generation run, the "secrets-submit" file ought to be truncated ala "cat /dev/null > secrets-submit".
