Description Noa Resare 2009-08-05 20:08:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
When starting tor installed on a clean system, a warning is emitted by the init script:

Aug 05 22:03:41.868 [warn] Skipping obsolete configuration option 'Group'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tor-0.2.0.34-5.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install tor
2. /sbin/service tor start
3.
  
Actual results:
the warning copied above

Expected results:
no warnings, actually no output at all from the init script startup. That stuff should go into logfiles

Additional info:
The package setup seems to be very much dependent on the toranon group for permissions on for example /var/log/tor however, it seems to work without using the group directive in the config file. 

Doesn't tor drop privileges properly? This should be investigated further
