Dear bertagaz: Thank you for working on this! I just reviewed http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tahoe/tahoe.git;a=blob;f=debian/README.Debian;h=14ea2a7c1b38d41df36dd052c44cdf22603fd775;hb=87f7666c2c3a5059dc28ea95c336b9de7f08ae47 . It is interesting that this is using the username within the local operating system as the "nick". That isn't what we intended the nickname to be for, but I don't see anything obviously wrong with it. It means that the node will announce to everyone who connects to it what the local username is. Is that what was expected? Hm, actually now that I think this through, I think the human reading that doc needs a warning about this! I think you should add a sentence that says "This nickname will be announced to all participants in the grid." or something like that. Or, change the suggested command-lines so that it no longer fills in the "nick" field from the username. Regards, Zooko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
