Install /usr/ports/security/tor 2. Copy /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc 3. Start Tor (run "service tor onestart" without the quotes) 4. If /var/log/tor doesn't exist and isn't isn't owned by _tor, you get the error: Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to init Log options >Fix: I have a patch to fix this: --- Makefile.old 2014-04-03 19:48:25.000000000 -0400 +++ Makefile 2014-04-03 19:49:57.000000000 -0400 @@ -42,6 +42,9 @@ CONFLICTS= tor-devel-[0-9]* +PLIST_SUB= USERS=${USERS} +PLIST_SUB+= GROUPS=${GROUPS} + .include <bsd.port.options.mk> .if ( (${OSVERSION} < 900000) || \ --- pkg-plist.old 2014-04-03 19:37:16.000000000 -0400 +++ pkg-plist 2014-04-03 19:47:56.000000000 -0400 @@ -8,6 +8,8 @@ man/man1/tor-resolve.1.gz man/man1/tor.1.gz man/man1/torify.1.gz + at exec touch /var/log/tor ; chown %%USERS%%:%%GROUPS%% /var/log/tor + at exec mkdir /var/run/tor ; chown -R %%USERS%%:%%GROUPS%% /var/run/tor %%DATADIR%%/geoip %%DATADIR%%/geoip6 @dirrm %%DATADIR%% So what this patch does is, that it makes the /var/log/tor logfile, the /var/run/tor directory for the tor.pid file, and makes /var/(log,run)/tor owned by _tor (or whatever user is specified to run Tor). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
