Package: tor Version: 0.2.2.35-1 Severity: normal I am trying to use vidalia to run tor. I have stopped tor, and edited /etc/default/tor to avoid it running as a daemon. Vidalia fails to start it, and logs:
Jan 04 15:49:27.068 [Warning] /var/run/tor is not owned by this user (joey, 1000) but by debian-tor (115). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? Jan 04 15:49:27.069 [Warning] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. (On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can conect to it, so Tor is being careful.) Jan 04 15:49:27.069 [Notice] Closing partially-constructed listener Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050 Jan 04 15:49:27.070 [Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports. Jan 04 15:49:27.070 [Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above. I am in group debian-tor, but the directory permissions, as set by both the postinst and the init script don't let me write there. drwxr-s--- 2 debian-tor debian-tor 60 Jan 4 15:41 /var/run/tor/ AFAICS, next time I boot, the directory won't even exist, since /var/run is now in /run, and the postinst only creates the directory when starting tor. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tor depends on: ii adduser 3.113 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.16-stable-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages tor recommends: ii logrotate 3.8.1-1 ii tor-geoipdb 0.2.2.35-1 ii tsocks 1.8beta5-9.2 Versions of packages tor suggests: ii mixmaster <none> ii privoxy 3.0.19-1 ii socat 1.7.1.3-1.2 ii tor-arm <none> ii xul-ext-torbutton 1.4.5.1-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/tor changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
