-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------
In both, the Tor -stable Manual and the Tor -alpha Manual, there is a
possible error in the section "NumEntryGuards NUM".
Literally, this is the description of the "NumEntryGuards NUM" option: "If
UseEntryGuards is set to 1, we will try to pick a total of NUM routers as
long-term entries for our circuits. If NUM is 0, we try to learn the
number from the NumEntryGuards consensus parameter, and default to 3 if
the consensus parameter isn’t set. (Default: 0)".
But I think the correct description would be: "If UseEntryGuards is set to
1, we will try to pick a total of NUM routers as long-term entries for our
circuits. If NUM is 0, we try to learn the number from the NumEntryGuards
consensus parameter, and default to 1 if the consensus parameter isn’t
set. (Default: 0)". Because Tor currently chooses a single entry guard,
does not choose three.
