[tor-bugs] #6110 [Tor Client]: Log warnings: Control[Port/ListenAddress], Socks[port/listenaddress], etc
#6110: Log warnings: Control[Port/ListenAddress], Socks[port/listenaddress], etc
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: grarpamp | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.3.x-final
Component: Tor Client | Version: Tor: 0.2.3.16-alpha
Keywords: | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
These various warnings for the various subject options, as they and
others might exist, are unnecessary and in bad form.
- With no such config, client should default to 127.0.0.1 and the
respective port, emitting just:
Opening <whatever> listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
- If a user has need to change from the defaults, they've presumably
found out about it from, and read the warnings in, the documentation.
Logfiles are not the place for documentation.
- And at over four times the standard 80 character line with, even
without the timestamp and severity, it's really bad form for syslog
style messages.
These are really unnecessary, please remove them. Or at least trim
them down to fit within 80 chars:
Non local <whateverport> configured, see warning in docs.
Examples:
[notice] You configured a non-loopback address for SocksPort. This allows
everybody on your local network to use your machine as a proxy. Make sure
this is what you wanted.
[warn] You have a ControlPort set to accept connections from a non-local
address. This means that programs not running on your computer can
reconfigure your Tor. That's pretty bad, since the controller protocol
isn't encrypted! Maybe you should just listen on 127.0.0.1 and use a tool
like stunnel or ssh to encrypt remote connections to your control port.
