Re: [tor-relays] nyx tor controller password

sudo -u debian-tor nyx

That's it! Thanks a lot!

That's not great for security, now nyx can read your tor private keys. (It probably won't, but still…)

If you add your controller to the debian-tor group, and set the appropriate options to make your cookie file group-readable, then nyx can only read those files.

I'm not sure why that isn't working for you.

Does your torrc-defaults or torrc contain: CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1

If using a control socket: ControlPort unix:/path/to/file GroupWritable ControlPortFileGroupReadable 1

And maybe: DataDirectoryGroupReadable 1
