Roger,
I beg your pardon. I would not want "fud" to deter new relays. I think the risks are overplayed as it is.
It was only that it was published on this list. I published the relay nickname somewhere and regret it.
I suggested the port change because that is what the VPS operators have told me was the first thing to do to avoid being constantly 'hacked' which has happened over and over to me.
It does seem logical to me to have a Tor Project section devoted to setting up and securing remote Tor servers.
Robert
