I am becoming increasingly perplexed about my Tor setup.
Tor does not appear to run on start-up. I assume this because I cannot see
it using ps aux | grep tor.
My torrc is in /etc/tor/torrc with user and group set as 'root'.
I run 'sudo tor' and receive the following errors:
Dec 29 20:12:55.076 [notice] Tor v0.2.2.35 (git-73ff13ab3cc9570d). This is
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on
Linux i686)
Dec 29 20:12:55.079 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.13-stable
using method epoll. Good.
Dec 29 20:12:55.079 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
Dec 29 20:12:55.079 [warn] Directory /var/run/tor does not exist.
Dec 29 20:12:55.079 [warn] Before Tor can create a control socket in
"/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to
be accessible only by the user and group account that is running Tor. (On
some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can conect to it, so Tor
is being careful.)
