i got more confused. To interact with the database there is the
mysql-user, right? Just to clarify, I know about linux system users and
group, mysql-users, and the users inside rivendell itself, so I don't
need information about that. 

I just don't understand for what the rduser (in /etc/passwd) with
password is necessary. So a rivendell installation with more then one
host doesn't use ssh or something to communicate via linux-user between
the hosts, right?

As far as I understand the wiki article, it's just there because of
historical reasons..

Thanks for your patience,
