Hello, I wanted to play a bit with the tor controlport. To check some basic functionality of it I just switched the authentication in vidalia off and restarted tor to make the settings take effect. ps aux shows this now about the process: /usr/bin/tor -f /home/MYUSERNAME/.vidalia/torrc DataDirectory /home/MYUSERNAME/.tor ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 0 HashedControlPassword But if I now try a simple connect to it with telnet and type some random command I get: $ telnet localhost 9051 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. meaningless command 514 Authentication required. Connection closed by foreign host. $ Why does TC tell me authentication is required even if it's switched off? Or is this the default reply if a not supported command was given to it? Tor version: 0.2.0.32 Vidalia version: 0.1.10 OS: linux greetings
