 Description   

This page: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/master-slave/#security
currently recommends setting up a "repl" user in the local database to use for internal authentication in a master/slave system.

Instead, we should remove all references to the "repl" user and simply recommend that they use keyFile, just like with replSets.
