#2308: Cannot use the vidalia tools if started the tor as service at boot

Comment(by atagar):
Why not just have Vidalia attempt cookie authentication and no-auth when
the password attempt fails? The control port provides the location of the
cookie file when you query PROTOCOLINFO (when 'AUTH METHODS=COOKIE'
there's a 'COOKIEFILE="/path/to/cookie" entry). This is fetched by TorCtl
at:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/pytorctl.git/blob/HEAD:/TorCtl.py#l575
The only times that Vidalia should fail to connect is when (a) the
existing Tor instance has a controller password that Vidalia doesn't know
or (b) Vidalia doesn't have permissions to read the cookie file.
Cheers! -Damian
