Re: [tor-relays] nyx tor controller password

[teor <teor2345@xxxxxxxxx>]

sudo -u debian-tor nyx

That's it!

Thanks a lot!

That's not great for security, now nyx can read your tor private keys.

(It probably won't, but still…)

If you add your controller to the debian-tor group, and set the

appropriate options to make your cookie file group-readable,

then nyx can only read those files.

I'm not sure why that isn't working for you.

Does your torrc-defaults or torrc contain:

CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1

If using a control socket:

ControlPort unix:/path/to/file GroupWritable

ControlPortFileGroupReadable 1

And maybe:

DataDirectoryGroupReadable 1
