Rsync Configuration

All things rsync currently live on rsync.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.SSH into sa-vm.apache.org and run sudo vi /usr/local/spamassassin/automc/rsync/secrets.

  1. Determine the username for the requestorrequester. We typically use first initial/last name.
  2. Wiki MarkupCome up with a random password. Something like \[http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/online/index.php APG\] can apg (available in most Linux distros, or in Homebrew for Mac) can help.
  3. Put the "username:password" pair in the appropriate secrets file.
  4. Mail the user a non-descript message with the username and password in it.
No Format
sudo vi /home/corpus-/usr/local/spamassassin/automc/rsync/secrets
[add a line to the end like "username:3498fgdio3X498Qfgd4ioT2jE"

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:

Your rsync username is XXX, your password is XXX

The wiki at https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/NightlyMassCheck has some good instructions to get you started!

And if you have any questions, you've been added to the RuleQA Mailing list. You can post a question by emailing ruleqa@spamassassin.apache.org 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".
