Hi Guys I use munin to monitor a bunch of stuff (including tor) on my servers. The long run munin stats are quite useful. I checked my stats today and noticed that there were no entries for tor on one machine going back a couple of weeks. Now I know I rebooted the machine in question about 12 days ago and I /think/ I upgraded tor at that time. Certainly the restart will have caused a regeneration of the cookie file anyway. Checking my logs, I see the following from munin: "Unable to connect to Tor ControlPort (515 Authentication failed: Wrong length on authentication cookie" and similarly in the tor log: " Got authentication cookie with wrong length (16)" Now I can see that the cookie file is 32 characters long, so I'm guessing that the file contains a control character that is screwing up the munin php plugin line "$cookie = file_get_contents($cookiepath);" Anyone else seen this before? Any ideas for fixing it? - short of restarting tor again (I've done that and I'm reluctant to keep on stopping and starting what should be a stable server), Thanks Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
