Hi Matt,

Thanks for the quick reply. The servers did not show because I had commented 
out the Nickname line in /etc/tor/torrc after seeing a notice in arm that it 
was redundant (presumably because it is identical to the hostname). Apparently, 
not redundant after all as it is necessary for proper listing on the torstatus 
servers…

So, I browsed to your suggested URL and verified that for my server which does 
show the Directory flags, it returns a bunch of data: 
http://99.28.48.185/tor/status-vote/current/consensus, but for the server which 
is now lacking the flags, nothing is returned: 
http://80.240.141.246/tor/status-vote/current/consensus.

As far as I know, these servers are identically configured apart from the 
nicknames, fingerprints, and bandwidth. And as I said, initially both servers 
showed Directory flags. I am running on Debian, and so tried "service for 
restart” without effect. Hate to have to reinstall to get Directory services up 
again…

Best regards,
Spencer
