At ftp7.de.freebsd.org, we do not mirror the ls-lR.gz file,
but instead we generate it ourselves (via cron, once per
night), so it reflects our actual content (which is more
than ftp-master).  Same for the dir.sizes file.

PS:  This is the cron script:

#!/bin/sh -

/usr/bin/renice -n 10 -p $$ 2>/dev/null    # be nice :-)
cd /pub/FreeBSD
umask 077       # temp. files should be inaccessible

du -kd3 > dir.sizes.new
chmod 664 dir.sizes.new
mv -f dir.sizes.new dir.sizes

ls -lR > ls-lR
gzip -c -9 ls-lR > ls-lR.gz.new
rm ls-lR
chmod 664 ls-lR.gz.new
mv -f ls-lR.gz.new ls-lR.gz
