Re: PIDFile not written/missing in tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-cvs
Most likely, it is you. :)
I'm unable to replicate this on 10.4.2 or 10.3.9 with 0.1.0.14. What
user does your tor daemon run as? In OSX, it's _tor by default, if that
doesn't have access to the /var/Process/ directory, it can't write to
it. In your example, is _tor(or whatever user you run it as) a member
of devgrp?
