Hi,
I've been running a new tor relay for about a week now and I've got some questions.
1) I plan on running other services than tor on my server, including a (private) mail system. Other than the general possibility of tor having security holes and my server (and its IP address) being public and thus possibly target of attacks, are there security implications I should consider?
2) I would be interested to eventually run a directory/bandwith authority, so I read about them in [1] and [2], but the places seemed a bit odd (hidserv-perf branch in tor svn/torflow repo) so I thought I better ask here: Would I really just have to follow the steps in [1] to become a dirauth? Is there currently a need for auths, would contribution be welcomed?
Thanks for your answers!
Regards Tobias
