<P><SPAN class=343294021-07052008><FONT face=Verdana>I am considering trying
my hand at a patch to allow fingerprints to be used in place of nicknames
for ExitNodes and EntryNodes config variables. (There are quite a few
duplicate nicknames floating around which are not immediately obvious. I added a
list of them yesterday to <A
href="http://www.pickaproxy.com/?speak=tor">http://www.pickaproxy.com/?speak=tor</A>
so they can be easily identified.) The problem currently is that duplicate
nicknames cannot be used as specified exit or entry nodes.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=343294021-07052008><FONT face=Verdana>Can someone
(Nick?) give me some pointers to start, with respect to how nicknames are
used to select exit and entry nodes? Or is this going to require
significant changes? I do not see any functions defining a direct
relationship between a nickname and a fingerprint but suspect there is one
somewhere.</FONT></SPAN></P>
