Re: PIDFile not written/missing in tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-cvs

hi,


: do i have a perms issue?
:
: % ls -ald /var/Process
: 	drwxrwxr-x  6 devuser devgrp 204 Aug 24 21:35 /var/Process
:
: shouldn't be :-/
:
: something's odd ... is it me?

Most likely, it is you. :) 

heh. yeah, well. THERE'S a surprise!  ;-D

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?


yes.  from my tor.conf (torrc):

   User devuser
   Group devgrp

checking:

   % ls -ald /var/Process
       drwxrwxr-x  6 devuser devgrp 204 Aug 24 21:35 /var/Process

and:

% ps -aux
...
devuser 878 0.0 0.4 30424 3472 ?? S 9:17AM 0:06.42 /usr/local/tor/bin/tor -f /var/Settings/Tor/tor.conf
...

all looks as it should ... argh. grumble.
