Mirror rsync setup

All of the scripts that rsync content from other mirrors to our mirror live in /etc/mirrorscripts. The user mirrroradmin owns and runs all of the scripts here. It also owns /storage. Mirroradmin runs the scripts through cron. The log files end up in /var/log/rsync/ and the lock files in /var/lock/rsync.

Template: /etc/mirrorscripts/generic.sh
