[Buildbot-devel] Very basic question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I am setting up a buidbot system, and have come to a place where the
docs are a bit unclear. In section 2.5, on setting up a slave, step 6
refers to some information that one gets when telling a master about a
slave. Step 7 says to use the info from step 6 in the create-slave
command to make the slave. This implies that there are two commands to
set up a slave: the first (in step 6) to tell the master about it, and
the second (in step 7) to actually set it up.

My questions are:

1) What command (or step in the docs) is step 6 referring to? I seems it
would not be the create-slave command, as that seems to be later after
some info is obtained from the master.

2) What user should you be when you create the slave? I would imagine
that you should be the buildbot master user when doing whatever is
described in step 6, and that you should be the buildbot slave user when
doing step 7.

Or am I just making things more complex than they are?
