FWIW:
Twe identifier "MyFamilyKey" is free of choice. But once it is choosen it must not be ommitted from the filename b/c it is part of the key.
FWIW, any filename should be okay, so long as it ends with ".secret_family_key". But "secret_family_key" on its own is not okay: the period is required.
Uuh, thanks. Then everything's fine. I created the key with:
tor --quiet --keygen-family ForPrivacyNET
and then copied 'ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key' into tor's KeyDir
The most annoying thing for me¹ was changing the rights ;-)
chown _tor-00:_tor-00 /var/lib/tor-instances/00/keys/ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key ... chown _tor-$$:_tor-$$ /var/lib/tor-instances/$$/keys/ForPrivacyNET.secret_family_key
¹because I'm brain-dead and don't use ansible.
