 Hello,

 when chutney makes a Tor network, it sets the following options in the
 dirauth torrc:
 {{{
 TestingDirAuthVoteExit *
 TestingDirAuthVoteGuard *
 }}}
 which results in a network where all nodes are guards and exits.

 This results in totally unbalanced bandwidths (0 guard bandwidth, 0 middle
 bandwidth, full guard+exit bandwidth) and authorities will not generate
 bandwidth weights:
 {{{
 [warn] Consensus with empty bandwidth: G=0 M=0 E=0 D=65770 T=65770
 }}}
 This is quite different from the real Tor network.

 It would be great if chutney could assign Exit/Guard flag in a smarter way
 to only a few nodes,  so that bandwidth can be allocated more widely.
