[tor-relays] FamilyID help...again

[wxw--- via tor-relays <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have run my relays for 15+ years.

I am trying to implement FamilyID by following your instructions at 
https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/post-install/family-ids/.

I generate my secret_family_key.

I save the FamilyID.

I copy secret_family_key to my key directory "I think". All servers are 
Debian 12-13. All tor versions are Tor 0.4.9.12 (recommended). 
Instructions call for sub-directory of DataDir? I don't know where that 
is. All my Tor key appear at /var/lib/tor/keys so that is where my 
secret_family_key is.

I add FamilyID #$%^&*()POIUYHJKLetc as in the format line generated to 
the bottom of my torrc file.

I restart relay. (Systemctl etc) I also reboot the whole server too.

Nyx won't start.

Remove the FamilyID from torrc and everything is fine and Nyx starts.

I have regenerated secret key several times, tried adding to 3 different 
relays with exactly the same results.

All my servers have Effective & Alleged Family Members listings obviously.

I have 2 questions what am I doing &*(*(**( wrong & do I have to add the 
FamilyID to all my relays first to get things working?

Thanks

Phil
