Rsync Configuration

All things rsync currently live on rsync.spamassassin.org (a CNAME alias for spamassassin.zones) under the /home/corpus-rsync directory. There's now only 1 type of user for rsync: both nightly mass-check submitters, and score generation result submitters, share the same set of accounts. 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.

  2. Come up with a random password. Something like [http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/online/index.php APG] can help.

  3. Put the "username:password" pair in the appropriate file.
  4. Mail the user a non-descript message with the username and password in it. 
sudo vi /home/corpus-rsync/secrets
[add a line to the end like "username:3498fgdio"
