Ok, that sounds like a good idea.

At this point I wish I could wall off /pub entirely.  Our outbound has 
been nailed open for the last month or two.  A new up2date will hopefully 
fix this problem such that I won't be cringing at the thought of anyone 
directly accessing /pub.... so long as nobody tries to make a direct grab 
for the next set of .iso files.  :)

An rsync from ncsu has been in progress going on two days now.  But 
between about a gig and a half of files to move and a boatload of folks 
running up2date directly against whiteboxlinux.org (failure to edit 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources) things are lagged to heck and gone.
