I guess now comes the inevitable flood of stupid questions as i try to 
make sense of the documentation.

I'm not clear what happens to authentication.  Have I messed something?

The example configuration has the line

monotone        "mtn" "-k" "my_key"

This suggests to me that the various monotones in the herd are going to 
be performing actions fot the user whose key is "my_key".  What happens 
to the identity of the remote user who is initiating the sync operation?
