&gt;&gt;&gt; Dammit, how many times have I told you that ROT13 is *NOT*
secure!<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; You have to double it to make it even marginally secure.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Here, let me help you out:<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Just look at *how* other distributions want to have their
repositories<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; set up and follow that. Normally mirroring a complete repository
should<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; be enough. So you better ask that on a Ubuntu or Gentoo list<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; There. see how secure that is! No one will EVER suspect
Ubuntu/Gentoo<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; help on the CentOS list.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;  Sure, but my main OS is CentOS, and I want to know what I need to  <br
/>
&gt;&gt; change on CentOS to allow other distro's repositories on to be  <br />
&gt;&gt; hosted on it. Do I need to do anything special?<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; That totally depends on the mirrors you are hosting, how their metadata<br
/>
&gt; is generated, etc.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; But the process to mirror them should just be to rsync some files into<br
/>
&gt; a web or ftp directory<br />
<br />
