Description

I am trying to use keybase on a NetBSD machine (running node.js built from pkgsrc) using a non-root user on a Tor-connected machine via "torify" and it doesn't seem to like that very much:

-bash-4.2$ torify keybase login
warn: No config file found; tried '/home/keybase/.keybase/config.json'
Your keybase username or email: midnightmagic
Your keybase login passphrase: ***************************
error: socket hang up
-bash-4.2$

Not sure why.

I'd prefer to use the service over Tor completely. Please consider testing against a torify'd command-line.

Research direction

Reproduce `torify keybase login` on the reported NetBSD setup with a non-root user and compare it with a direct login. Trace the cause of the `socket hang up`; done means the command-line client can complete login and service use through Tor without that error.
