Yes, this is how MyFamily works. Each node in the family must be configured to list all other nodes in the family. If I start up node Alice, and list Bob and Mallory in MyFamily, Bob must list Alice and Mallory, and Mallory must list Alice and Bob. If Mallory lists Alice and Bob, but neither Alice nor Bob list Mallory, it's not a valid Family. Otherwise, Mallory could list every node in the network and screw everyone. Or list all nodes in the network but 3 and shunt all traffic through those 3, etc. -- Andrew Lewman The Tor Project pgp 0x31B0974B Website: https://www.torproject.org/ Blog: https://blog.torproject.org/ Identi.ca: torproject *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
