Replying to [ticket:2659 mikeperry]:
> 2. Create a 'Least Privilege' Control Port that does not require
authentication, that implements a safe subset of the Tor control port,
including SIGNAL NEWNYM.
>
> Option 2 can be done either in Tor (hard), or as a proxy filter in
Vidalia (easier).
>
> Either of these options requires just about the same amount of work in
Torbutton, and if done correctly, Torbutton should conceivably be able to
use either Control Port, because they should both have the same exact
syntax for the relevant commands and events.
I'd go for option (2). It gives TorButton controller functionality without
implementing an actual controller there, and it gives the possibility of
TorButton<->Vidalia communication for (may be) specific commands regarding
TBB usability that don't concern Tor directly.
