     12 The configuration file consists of a newline separated list of paths
     13 which point to the base of the mirror directories. Mirrors go into 
     14 .Pa mirrors/ Va host
     15 in the base directory. The log file is located at
     16 .Pa mirrors/log .
     17 .Pp
     18 To eliminated the need to run the reciever as root, it is recommended
     19 to mount backup disks with the noperm flag under a directory owned
     20 by the user you wish to backup with and sufficiently protected with
     21 permissions.
