rr-n1-tor stands for "root registry", "node 1", "toronto" - the naming
convention was put in place when plans for the layout of OpenSRS (and its
respective components) were different. The UserDir is a throwback from a
legacy layout, but it's not necessary anymore - just setup for backwards
compatability - using rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/resellers works just as good
:)
