Very thanks for your information, Scott,
It is a pitty that I have read this mail only today.
Is it useful to include that line in the torrc-file on my tor-node (I
don't use it as a client) or it useful only for tor-clients?
P.S. It seems like somebody begin many attacks to the Tor-network,
DerAufbruch1, perfect-privacy.com...)

 AFAIK, it is used only for route selection prior to construction of
a new circuit, which is a client activity.

 I assume that tor is always under attack, but this sort of thing most
commonly is not intended as an attack, but is rather due to the failure of
some people to read and understand the documentation before using tor.  I
don't see it as being any different from those who hook up their new TV/DVR/
VCR/stereo systems without deigning to open and read the manuals or other
documentation(*) included in the boxes.

  phone manufacturers as evidenced by their elimination of manuals in the
  packages and the inclusion instead of a folded sheet or small, stapled
  pamphlet with basic, often pictorial instructions for a very few of the
  phones' functions and capabilities.  The user is apparently expected
  to figure out anything he/she needs to do with the phone by trial and
  error.

Re: DerAufbruch{,1,2} nodes not in a Family

2010-05-30 Thread Flamsmark
Is there a page on the wiki that contains suggested families? It's great
that we have people like Scott to find these families, and it's great that
he sends them out to the list. However, new users, new subscribers to the
list, and so on will have difficulty accessing them. The list archives are
quite hard to browse, and it would make sense to have this info in one
place. Scott, could you start a page with this info?

 I don't know.

 Absolutely.  The archives' usefulness suffers seriously from the lack
of search functions.  I tend to cringe and procrastinate whenever it looks
like I'll have to dig through them for something. :-}

place. Scott, could you start a page with this info?

 Perhaps, but I'm not sure that's the best way to deal with it.  It seems
to me that this is a security issue much like the bad exits issue, so maybe
the directory authorities ought to have a way of enforcing Family groupings
in a manner similar to the BadExit flag or the Invalid flag.  Any thoughts
on this from others, including developers?
