On Ubuntu, how come Tor (0.2.4.20-1) doesn't create control_auth_cookie
anywhere on the system after enabling CookieAuthentication
in /etc/tor/torrc
?
# /etc/init.d/tor start
* Starting tor daemon... [ OK ]
# tail -n 2 /var/log/tor/log
Nov 24 14:09:06.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
Nov 24 14:09:06.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.
# grep "\(DataD\|Cook\)" /etc/tor/torrc

(what value did you set it to)? – Sam Whited Nov 24 '14 at 15:54find / -name "control_auth_cookie"
. I enabled it by uncommentingCookieAuthentication 1
. – Mark Boulder Nov 24 '14 at 20:43grep "\(DataD\|Cook\)" /etc/tor/torrc

. I tested it locally and it worked fine. Has the logfile some hints if something went wrong? – Jens Kubieziel♦ Nov 26 '14 at 20:34
