 toralf says:
 {{{
 wrt to this syslog massage : "You specified a server "zwiebeltoralf" by
 name, but the directory authorities do not have any key registered for
 this nickname"    - how can I register my nickname ?
 }}}

 We should change this message to be clearer, particularly because we don't
 use the Named/Unnamed flags any more.

 We could just say "don't have any relay for this nickname".
