It's worth at least setting up annon rsync, because it means that the data 
does not get run through ssh at each end, thus saving CPU cycles and 10% (or 
more) of the bandwidth.

For restricting usage, the rsync server does allow challenge/response
authentication as well, so we could give the password to official mirrors, and 
that would be the end of the administration problem.

Cheers, Phil.
