-<h2>Mirroring Samba</h2>
-
-<p>Quite a few sites like to mirror the Samba ftp site, and sometimes the
-web site. The problem with these mirrors is that they can cost us an
-enormous amount in network charges. To try to minimise the costs,
-please consider the following.</p>
-
-<h3>Is It Needed?</h3>
-
-<p>If this mirror is for your personal use, then please
-reconsider. Otherwise, check to see if there is
-another mirror site within reasonable proximity to you already. 
-If there is, then think about whether your mirror is really needed.</p>
-
-<h3>Ask First</h3>
-
-<p>If you decide to go ahead and setup a mirror, then please contact
-us so we can add you to the list of available mirrors. Write to 
-<a href="mailto:webmaster at samba.org">webmaster at samba.org</a>.</p>
-
-<h3>Not Too Often</h3>
-
-<p>Please don't be tempted to run your mirror script on an hourly
-basis. Once a day really is good enough for Samba. </p>
-
-<h3>Join the mirrors at samba.org List</h3>
-
-<p>If you want to mirror this site, then please join the
-mirrors at samba.org mailing list so you can be notified of
-changes in the site that require your attention. The list has very low
-traffic so it should not be a burden. See 
-<a href="http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/mirrors/">
-http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/mirrors/</a> for information on how to join the list.</p>
-
-<p>You may also use this list to ask questions about mirroring problems
-with this site.</p>
-
-<h3>Use Anonymous rsync</h3>
-
-<p>Please do NOT use ftp mirror scripts or web robots to mirror our
-site. Some of these mirroring systems are very inefficient. Not
-only do they take a long time to run, but they also use a lot more
-bandwidth than is necessary. Web mirror scripts are particularly bad.</p>
-
-<p>If you do attempt to use a web robot then our automatic web robot
-detector will probably catch you and ban your entire site.</p>
-
-<p>You can use anonymous rsync to obtain a copy of the [sambaftp]
-(minus the Binary_Packages download area) and [sambawww] repository.
-Please note that official mirror can make use of the [sambaftp-mirror]
-repository which includes the Binary_Packages/ directory.  However, in 
-order to do so, you must first obtain the current username and password
-for the share.  To do this, please send email to <a 
-href="mailto:webmaster at samba.org">webmaster at samba.org</a>.
-</p>
-
-<p>You can read more about rsync at <a
-href="http://rsync.samba.org/">http://rsync.samba.org/</a>,
-but basically what you want to do is <a
-href="ftp://samba.org/pub/rsync/">download rsync</a>, compile
-it for your system then run something like this to do a mirror run:</p>
-
-<pre>
-rsync -az --delete --force mirror.samba.org::sambaftp/ ~ftp/pub/samba
-</pre>
-
-<p>This will also give you a much better quality mirror than other
-mirroring systems. The timestamps will be right to the second,
-symbolic links will be preserved, and all the permissions will be
-right.</p>
-
-<h3>Mirroring Web Pages</h3>
-
-<p>If you want to mirror the Samba web pages, then it is especially
-important that you do not use a web robot. We have had endless
-problems with robots using enormous amounts of bandwidth by following
-infinite loops in the web pages or downloading stuff that it just isn't
-useful to have on a mirror site.</p>
-
-<p>Instead, please join the mirrors mailing list mentioned above and ask
-on that list. Then, if you go ahead, please use rsync like this:</p>
-
-<pre>
-rsync -az --delete --exclude=ftp  mirror.samba.org::sambawww/ /wwwmirrors/samba/
-</pre>
-
-<p>To complete the web mirror you will also need to mirror the ftp site
-as above then create a symbolic link from
-http://your.host.name/samba/ftp to the samba ftp area. Consult your
-web server and OS documentation about how to use symbolic
-links. Typicaly it involves something like this:</p>
-
-<pre>
-ln -s ~ftp/pub/samba /var/www/htdocs/samba/ftp
-</pre>
-
-<p>then you add the option "SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" to your Apache
-configuration. Note that this means that the symbolic link
-<em>must</em> be owned by the same user that owns the ftp directory.</p>
-
-<p>The hostname of your web site mirror doesn't matter (you don't need to
-use virtual hosting) but please make the site available as
-http://your.host.name/samba/ so that internal references to /samba/
-work.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<b>NOTE:</b> With the recent samba.org XHTML/CSS redesign (August 2004), 
-http://samba.org continues to use the /samba/ link to maintain links across
-mirrors; however, http://samba.org/samba/ is the top most page in the site, not 
-http://samba.org/samba/samba.html as was previously the case.
-
-<p>As with the ftp link, /samba/ should just be a link pointing back to the
-top most directory of samba webpages.  This will effectively ensure that 
-http://your.host.name/samba/ and http://your.host.name/ point to the same
-page (i.e. the top most index.html in the samba web pages directory.</p>
-</blockquote> 
-
-<h3>MIME Types</h3>
-
-<p>samba.org now relies on CSS for handling presentation.  You must ensure,
-then, that Apache is configured correctly for CSS.  Usually, this is not
-a problem as Apache reads MIME types from the server's mime.types file.  To
-ensure Apache correctly handles CSS, check your server's mime.types file for
-the following:</p>
-
-<pre>
-text/css        css
-</pre>
-
-<p>If the line does not exist, add it to the file.  Or if you don't prefer
-to modify the mime.types file, add the following to your httpd.conf:</p>
-
-<pre>
-AddType text/css .css
-</pre>
-
-<p>Web pages should also be served with a simple MIME type of "text/html"
-rather than anything like "text/html; iso-8859-1" or "text/html; utf-8".</p>
- 
-<h3>Server Side Includes</h3>
-
-<p>You must also ensure that your web server supports server side
-includes. To enable these under Apache you would use the option
-IncludesNOEXEC in an Options directive in a directory section.</p>
-
-<h3>Example Config</h3>
-
-<p>A typical config for Apache serving the Samba web pages would be:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  <Directory /var/www/htdocs/samba>
-	XBitHack full
-	AddHandler server-parsed .html
-	Options IncludesNOEXEC Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
-	AllowOverride None
-	order allow,deny
-	allow from all
-  </Directory>
-</pre>
-
-
-<h3>Country Alias</h3>
-
-<p>If you run a Samba web mirror site, then you can ask for a country
-alias in the samba.org domain for your site. Send mail to <a
-href="mailto:webmaster at samba.org">webmaster at samba.org</a>.</p>
-
-<h3>Local Customisation</h3>
-
-<p>You can customise your mirror of Samba by editing the files
-local_header.html and local_footer.html. If you do that, then remember
-to exclude those files from your rsync script or they will be
-overwritten.</p>
-
-<p>Please keep customisations small and in keeping with the rest of the
-page.</p> 
-
-<h3>List Archives</h3>
-
-<p>If you have problems setting up your web mirror then please ask on the
-mirrors at samba.org mailing list or look in the <a
-href="http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/mirrors/">list archives</a>.</p>
