Well, once 0.0.4 is finished, you can just kill -HUP the server, or run
"mixminion server-reload" and it'll generate a new set of keys for you.
For the moment, though, it's a little harder. You can't just edit the
server descriptor: it's signed by the identity key, and any changes you
make will render it invalid. You can't just run server-keygen either--
that generates extra keys for the future, but doesn't replace the keyset
you have now. What you need to do is this:
1) Stop the server.
2) Nuke the old keys. You should rm -rf the following:
$HOME/keys/key_*
$HOME/work/hashlogs/*
but nothing else.
[The 'server-DELKEYS' command is buggy, and won't nuke all of
the hashlogs.]
3) Edit the configuration file, and restart the server. A fresh
keyset will be generated, with a new server descriptor.
Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Once 0.0.4 is out, this
song-and-dance shouldn't be needed anymore.
Yrs,
