 <b>3.</b> Send the distfiles password email to the new mirror admins, CC

+<pre caption="Example email">Hi,
+We're glad to have you as our newest source mirror, welcome aboard!
+
+Use this information to sync with our private mirror every 4 hours from
+Midnight local time. This is for mirror admins only, please do not share
+this information.
+
+----------------------------------------
+rsync module: masterdistfiles.gentoo.org::gentoo
+username: $insert_here
+password: $insert_here
+
+To make this scriptable, we recommend placing the password in a file and
+then using the --password-file option with rsync.  The file must not be
+accessible by others (i.e. chmod 640) or rsync will complain.  So, as an
+example, placing the password into '~/distfile_passwd', you would use an
+rsync command like the following:
+
+rsync -rlptDq --delete -H --password-file=~/distfile_passwd \
+$username@masterdistfiles.gentoo.org::gentoo /your/local/path/goes/here
+
+Please note that we have received several reports of problems when using
+the -z (compress) option of rsync.  Thus, please DO NOT use this option
+when syncing against this mirror.
+---------------------------------------
+
+Please also make sure you are subscribed to gentoo-mirrors@gentoo.org as
+we often send out administrative notices and policy changes via this
+list.
+
+Thanks for helping Gentoo!
+
+Cheers,
+$name</pre>
