ok, let's try some games ...

in each of the following cases for changing tor.conf -->
		PidFile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
		Pidfile "/var/Process/tor.pid"
		pidfile "/var/Process/tor.pid"

i find NO pid file ...

% ls /var/Process/tor.pid
	/usr/local/bin/ls: /var/Process/tor.pid: No such file or directory

checking my syslog, i find in each case:

...
Aug 24 21:58:37 devbox Tor: Initialized libevent version 1.1a using method 
poll. Good.
Aug 24 21:58:37 devbox Tor: write_pidfile(): Unable to open 
"/var/Process/tor.pid" for writing: No such file or directory

it's working.

hmmmm.  it's running ... but no pid.

looking for write_pidfile() in src/or/config.c ...

 ...
 /* Write our pid to the pid file. If we do not have write permissions we
  * will log a warning */
 if (options->PidFile)
   write_pidfile(options->PidFile);
 ...

do i have a perms issue?

% ls -ald /var/Process
	drwxrwxr-x  6 devuser devgrp 204 Aug 24 21:35 /var/Process

shouldn't be :-/

something's odd ... is it me?

cheers,

richard
