Zax's program, written in Python, is here:
https://github.com/crooks/nymserv

Basic setup instructions here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crooks/nymserv/master/INSTALL>

A sample config file is here:

Thanks!

We could definitely use another Nymserver.

python-gnupg is installed

:~$ nymserv --process
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/nymserv", line 39, in <module>
import nymserv.gnupg
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nymserv/gnupg.py", line 19, in <module>
import GnuPGInterface
ImportError: No module named GnuPGInterface
########

any clue ?

That usually means that your Python has not yet imported the required
module. Try 'pip install GnuPGInterface' or in case of Python3 pip3 etc.

I set up a Zax nym server a few years ago. I ran into the same issue as
you with the GnuPGInterface module. At that time I asked on apa-s and
got some help. Here is the thread:

But we need GHIO style servers, as that's what the best
nym client software - OmniMix - supports.

It looks like you were successful in getting the GnuPGInterface module
installed. That's good. As for your latest issue I never encountered
that one.

I ran the Thinhose nymserver on Debian 10 so I can confirm that your OS
is not the problem.

The author Zax can be reached at steve AT mixmin DOT net. If anyone can
help he can.

The command "python setup.py install" needs to run as root or sudo user.

But the command "nymserv --process" should be run as user nymserv. Have
you created a user nymserv?

FYI, here is what my /home/nymserv directory structure looked like for
the Thinhose nymserver:

/home/nymserv
/home/nymserv/.nymservrc
/home/nymserv/.procmailrc

The nymserv folder contains these 7 subfolders:

etc/
keyring/
/openpgp-revoc.d/
/private-keys-v1.d/
commands.txt
gpg-agent.conf
pubring.kbx
random_seed
[...]
log/
Maildir/
pool/
run/
users/

I wish I understood the Omnimix software. I have tried to use it
many times, but obviously I'm to dense to comprehend it.

I've followed the guides and tutorials but always wind up giving
up...

That's what newsgroups are used for.

after i have launched again installation procedure:

:~$ nymserv --process
File "/usr/local/bin/nymserv", line 104
except socket.gaierror, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

User "nym" is okay too! As long as it's a regular user, and not root.

As for the error message reported in your latest post I don't know. It
sounds like a problem with a newer Python version (3.x) complaining
about code written for an earlier Python version (2.7).
'Any Python experts out there?
