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
