Mirroring Setup

I've got the server mirroring... or I think I have it
partially mirroring.

This is what I see on the Master Status:
Mirror out: NoSSL Que/sent add=20209/15923 (782932332 bytes)
del=31347/7135
ren=22822/0/3681 qfile=0k -ERR rename
(/var/surgemail/grady.k12.ga.us/qc/hc/a.gordon/mdir/new/1161
946784.2789_5596
1.mail~2,(1911,10684)[1161961184])
(/var/surgemail/grady.k12.ga.us/qc/hc/a.gordon/mdir/new/1161
946784.2789_5596

  State: Done file ok
  Upto 0/-1 -0.0%
/var/surgemail/grady.k12.ga.us/eb/jg/c.yates
  Adding to que:  29388 0.4/s (reque=0) 
  Sending to rmt: 24958 0.3/s 
  Sent live:      0 0.0/s 
  Gone before sent=0, Getlost ok=0, missing=0
Mirror  in: Received add=0 del=0 rename=0 fail=0 delfail=0
renfail=0 p=0

On the Slave Status I see:
Mirror out: NoSSL Que/sent add=0/105 (3128 bytes) del=0/0
ren=0/0/0 qfile=0k

  State: OpenList2-NULL
  Upto 0/-1 -0.0% ./
  Adding to que:  8 0.0/s (reque=0) 
  Sending to rmt: 7 0.0/s 
  Sent live:      0 0.0/s 
  Gone before sent=0, Getlost ok=0, missing=0
Mirror  in: Received add=15880 del=6891 rename=0 fail=0
delfail=2193
renfail=3737 p=0

Can anyone tell me if this looks normal?
Also, I noticed that when I look under 'accounts' on the
slave... there is
no users listed.  The total says there are two in the
database but they do
not display?  Should I be able to see all the user accounts
just like I
would from the master?

Thanks,

Use the ip addresses of the servers instead of their dns
names in the  
mirror section and leave the rest of the surgemail settings
the same.

If you are going to use the mirror as a backup only, then
you are done.
