Personally, I'd suggest you do what seems best to you rather than taking a straw poll: trying to find the One True Filesystem Layout is prone to generate more noise than light. (0.0.6 will probably make file locations even more configurable, for people who want to put their keys in location A, their queues in location B, and their pidfiles in location C.) > Should i mail the list when I have entries in the log file about servers > that can not be connected to? Or do you let these go for a while? For the most part, those entries fall into two categories: - Temporary outages: the server is unreachable for a while, but comes back online. When it does, all pending messages are delivered. This is nothing to worry about. - Dead servers: These are caught by the directory server, and marked as 'not recommended' in the directory. (Run 'mixminion list-servers' for a list.) The long-dead servers are currently: cf, frell, and sushi. They still appear in the directory because their current server descriptors don't expire until 11/28, 12/11, and 12/18 respectively. The only reason that you're seeing messages sent to these servers is that the pingers are still generating them. This is still nothing to worry about. On the other hand, a third category is *possible*, but has not yet been observed: a server might be consistently broken for you, but not appear as broken on the directory. The directory updates daily; if you can't connect to a server _at all_ for a couple of days, and it doesn't appear as 'not recommended' on the directory, then it'd be worthwhile to mail the list and find out what's up. Hope this helps, -- Nick
