I came up with a work-around for the lack of support for mirroring and SSL. You can put Elog behind an Apache proxy. Apache can serve through SSL for normal user access. The Elog server can "hosts allow" localhost and any mirrors and deny all others. This still leaves the mirroring account subject to sniffing, which could be bad if mirrors are allowed to change content on the master, but it will greatly minimize the potential exposure of passwords. This could even be removed by only allowing localhost and mirroring over SSH tunnels. -Brett.
