Re: tor and Daemantools-0.76

[tor <tor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
      the -d3500000 is perfectly acceptable for running as a hidden 
service or client... I did say you needed to tune for your usage.
I did NOT post a server example...  unfortunately tor on openbsd current 
seems to just disappear and I have found neither core or assert 
messages. I am currently working on a systrace version of Daemontools, 
tor and privoxy for use as a server with settings appropriate for that 
scenario.

AS I use hidden services as a VPN for certain ssh/http servers this 
seems to work.

Servers I have also been experimenting with are on FreeBSD5.3, OSX(Tiger 
and Panther), Debian-unstable as well as miscellaneous others.


and just for you Roger
a 100 second delay on restart:) 

---cut here ---
#!/bin/sh
SLEEP=100
sleep $SLEEP
exec 2>&1
exec envuidgid tor  envdir ./env softlimit -d3500000 /usr/bin/su tor -c 
/usr/local/bin/tor
---cut here-





    a tor operator
