These days I use chutney (https://gitweb.torproject.org/nickm/chutney.git) for templating a bunch of Tor instances and launching them locally. It's more suited for testing Tor changes than for running a production network on a bunch of machines, but you could probably adapt it to do what you need if you know a little python and are willing to get your hands dirty. It is still in an underdocumented and basically unsupported state: "if it breaks, you can keep both pieces" as they say. See also Sebastian's privnet scripts at https://gitweb.torproject.org/sebastian/tor-utils.git ; they might be better if you prefer sh. Same disclaimers apply. yrs, -- Nick _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
