I had some trouble today configuring the authfile. I finally got it working but I think some clearer documentation for the authfile would make more sense.
After creating a authfile, mount.s3ql complained about permissions, ".s3ql/authinfo2 has insecure permissions, aborting.", without giving any indication of how to create secure permissions. I found from this thread on Reddit <https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/2fo868/guide_how_to_set_up_a_cloud_plex_server_for_as/> that I needed to run "chmod 600 ~/.s3ql/authinfo(2)". As far as I cant see, this is not documented in S3QL's documentation page or man page. Also the location of the authfile is not documented on the authfile page <http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/authinfo.html> nor is that page discoverable if you search "authfile2" on the documentation site. Secondly, the documentation site seems to have some type of strange errors. I can only open a page if I press "try again" on Firefox each time I go to a new page. Also http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/authinfo.html works but https://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/authinfo.html fails, and the latter web address is the one that Google and DuckDuckGo link to, so none of the documentation pages are available via those search sites. Others on this forum <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/s3ql/vFWMAbkNoX4/discussion> have also run into problems with finding information on the authfile.
