-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, That would be invalid. I know there are some families which do it. You are free to enter a nickname at MyFamily parameter in your torrc, but it won't actually work for clients. Tor will still start on relay side and go on with it. It used to work back when we were using Named / Unnamed flags. If the relay had the Named flag, you could just enter its nickname at Tor would automatically map that nickname to its proper fingerprint. It did not work for relays with Unnamed flag or relays without both Named and Unnamed flags. I have opened a ticket for this on trac, but we fixed the FAQ. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12092 On 5/31/2015 10:48 PM, nusenu wrote:
Hi,
according to the spec [1] relay ops can choose between fingerprint (with and without $ prefix) and nicknames when constructing their MyFamily configs. The man page recommends fingerprints.
Now I'm faced with [2][3] families that use a combination: $fp=nick
Are they actually valid or is this a bug or can one actually specify arbitrary strings there? (dir auths and onionoo apparently accept them)
thanks
