Re: [tor-relays] Delete keys on reboot

[CJ Barlow <iamthechong@xxxxxxxxx>]

If I run

rm -f /var/lib/tor/keys/* 2>&1 >> /home/[me]/reboot.txt

it Âdoesn't error (as long as I run it with sudo) but it also doesn't do anything, checking keys shows it still contains files.

I read the RAM disk tutorial that is linked on the Tor Relay Security page, what I don't understand is how the keys are created and stored solely in RAM. When launching tor for the first time (say "sudo apt-get purge Tor" then "sudo apt-get install Tor") the keysÂfolder does not exist. Would I just mount the whole /var/lib/tor folder in RAM instead or is there a better way to do it?

What's about

rm -f /var/lib/tor/keys/* 2>&1 >> /home/[me]/reboot.txt

to see the error msg ?
