See the attached patch and please comment.
Couple of questions:
- Do we want to get fancy with the description of the use of the rsync
suite? It is primarily useful for mirror operators, all others had
better use cvsup anyway...
- Do we want to include ftp-master into the list? Just like
cvsup-master, this server is not for public consumption.
