Not for the word database, but it does support compression for the
excerpts in db.docdb.  I thought it was on by default, but it appears
I was mistaken.  So, no, I don't believe we have compression enabled,
but I don't know how much space we'd save by doing so.

See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#compression_level

Well, personally, I don't think either is a stupid question.  The man
pages on ssh and ssh-keygen aren't exactly newbie-friendly.  Myself, I
only learned enough to get by.

To answer Neal's question first, though, you point ssh to shell.sf.net,
and login using your SF.net user name and password.

You should read the SF.net document E5: Guide to generating, posting and
using SSH keys
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=761&group_id=1

After generating your key, you can take the contents of the id_rsa.pub
or id_dsa.pub file in your .ssh directory (on your system) and append
it to the .ssh/authorized_keys on shell.sf.net, so you can login there
without needing a password.  That same key is the one you'll need to
add to the list of ssh keys on your SF.net account maintenance page to
get CVS access.  See http://sourceforge.net/account/

Hope this helps.
