You can resend a creation request message with the `resend-command'
command. For example :

$ nymbaron resend-command -n marcoc02 journal:0

> marcoc at ordmantell:~$ nymbaron create

Indeed, marcoc02a got created.

That's because you need to add the list of commands you want to
resend, indexed as "journal:0", "journal:1" and so on.

I agree, resend-command should complain if you forget to give some
command-id as argument.

Someone (presumably you, although of course I can't tell!) registered
marcoc too. Just to let you know that some packets reach the server.
We have however a major problem at the server : if the account
creation ack cannot be sent immediately (because of a mixminion
connect error for example), then the server never retries to send the
ack back.

FYI, I don't get replies for my creation request either, because some
server in my first SURB path is currently down. So we need to make the
server more robust when it comes to sending creation acks.
