[tor-relays] Re-installed Tor relay node as exit node with same name, different OS.

Did you restore the relay's secret identity key when reinstalling? The
secret identity key, stored in DATA_DIR/keys/secret_id_key,* and its
corresponding fingerprint is what identifies your relay, not the
nickname. So, if you make a new relay without migrating this key, it
will be recognized by the network as a new relay.

If you backed up your Linux system, you can restore the key from
there. If not, that's fine, you'll just have to wait a little while
for your new relay to build up consensus weight. This might even be a
good thing, as you have forward secrecy (in terms of identity) if your
Linux install was compromised.

* More specifically, this is /var/lib/tor in Linux and
/usr/local/lib/tor in OpenBSD by default, IIRC.
