+Every N seconds, Tor downloads a fresh directory, and re-uploads

+\fBauthoritativedirectory \fR\fI0|1\fP
+When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative
+directory server. Instead of caching the directory, it generates its
+own list of good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients.
+Unless the clients already have you listed as a trusted directory, you
+probably do not want to set this option. Please coordinate with the other
+admins at tor-ops@freehaven.net if you think you should be a directory.

STRING is a command-separated list of Tor versions currently believed to be safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which pull down the directory learn whether they need to upgrade.

+\fBruntesting \fR\fI0|1\fP
+If set to 1, Tor tries to stay connected to all of the servers it
+knows about, so it can tell which are up and which are down. This
+option is only useful for authoritative directories, so you probably
