.SH NOTES
+For configuration file documentation, see
+.BR disorder_config (5).
.SS "Startup"
The first time a new install of DisOrder is started it will run
.B disorder-rescan
-to pick up new tracks. On subsequent server restarts it will NOT do
+to pick up new tracks.
+On subsequent server restarts it will NOT do
this automatically; if you want a rescan at every restart you must
arrange that manually.
.PP
There is however an automatic rescan once every 24 hours.
-.SS "How To Configure Authentication"
-The administrator should create \fIpkgconfdir/config.private\fR, make sure it
-is not world-readable, and populate it with \fBallow\fR commands
-listing usernames and passwords. Use
-e.g. \fBpwgen\fR(1) to generate random passwords. Passwords should
-then be distributed to users.
.PP
-Each user should create the file \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR
-and make sure it is not world-readable. Having done so
-they should add a \fBpassword\fR command to it giving their password (and
-optionally a \fBusername\fR command if their DisOrder username is not the
-same as their login name).
-.SS Locales
+A \fBroot\fR login is automatically created on startup if it does not
+exist.
+If \fBdisorder\fR(1) is run as root on the same machine as the
+server it is capable of extracting the password from the database
+directly.
+.SS "Locales"
.B disorderd
-is locale-aware. If you do not set the locale correctly then it may
-not handle non-ASCII data properly.
+is locale-aware.
+If you do not set the locale correctly then it may not handle
+non-ASCII data properly.
.PP
Filenames and the configuration file are assumed to be encoded using the
-current locale. Internally (within the server, in the database and in

+Internally (within the server, in the database and in
communication between client and server) the UTF-8 encoding is used.
.SS Backups
DisOrder uses Berkeley DB but currently discards log files that are no longer
-in use. This means that DB's catastrophic recovery cannot be used (normal
+in use.
+This means that DB's catastrophic recovery cannot be used (normal
recovery can be used, and indeed the server does this automatically on
startup).
.PP
It is suggested that instead you just back up the output of
-.BR disorder-dump (8),
+.BR disorder\-dump (8),
which saves only the parts of the database that cannot be regenerated
automatically, and thus has relatively modest storage requirements.
