yeah, I thought it did, but then Theo pointed me at something on the wiki
that makes me think otherwise now ;)  So now I'm wondering why that is.

Anyway, there's no hurry -- between today, and results-submitting
deadline, there's about 2 weeks-ish.

In the past there's been 2, though most people wouldn't know the difference.
Generally if people ask for a nightly account, they go in one file.  For score
generation runs, that file is copied to the other file, and then anyone else
who asks for a score generation account gets added.  Thereby keeping the two
types of accounts seperate.

In thinking about it a bit, I guess it doesn't really matter in the end,
though keeping the two rsync areas separate would be good -- ie submit versus
nightly, so that it's easier to keep track of what the results are.

So a couple of things:

1) Sure, after this run we'll switch to using a single accounts file.
2) I'd actually like to clean out the accounts file.  There are a lot of
   people listed who we have never heard from or heard from in a while.

What was it on the wiki which made you think one rsync account wouldn't 
work? (If this is what your concern is) Send the url to it if you would, 
please.

I read through the masses README's and it looked to me like one account 
was all that was needed. But, of course, I could be mistaken.


Also any particular time for the start of the masschecks?
