+authority for old-style (v1) directories as well. (Only directory mirrors
+care about this.) If no \fBdirserver\fP line is given, Tor will use the default

+for setting up a private Tor network with its own directory authorities. If
+you use it, you will be distinguishable from other users, because you won't
