Re: [Help-gnunet] arm want a private key to start

[Christian Grothoff]

If you started gnunet-arm (as you should) as user "gnunet" (with write 
permissions to that directory), the ".hostkey" should be generated at 
the time where you get that message.  It might take a while, especially 
if your system is low on entropy. Aborting the process will make it 
worse, as GNUnet will have to start again from scratch to gather entropy.

You can also run "gnunet-peerinfo -s -c /etc/gnunet.conf" to ONLY 
generate the .hostkey prior to starting GNUnet itself.

Happy hacking!
