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 only 1 type of user for rsync: nightly mass-check submitters and score generation result submitters both 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.
SSH into sa-vm1.apache.org and run sudo vi /usr/local/spamassassin/automc/rsync/secrets.
- Determine the username for the requester. We typically use first initial/last name.
- Come up with a random password. Something like APG can help.
- Put the "username:password" pair in the appropriate file. The two files are secrets and secrets-submitsecrets file.
