Unless the tor developers have arranged with you for you to operate
a directory authority of some kind, you will not use any of the above options.
Other people would only have need to set those options in a laboratory
situation in which they were setting up their own internal tor network. Do
NOT play with those options on tor relays running in the real-world tor
network.
