18 Do you want to run a tor server?
20 First, edit the bottom part of your torrc. Create the DataDirectory,
21 and make sure it's owned by whoever will be running tor. Fix your system
22 clock so it's not too far off. Make sure name resolution works. Make
23 sure other people can reliably resolve the Address you chose.
25 Then run tor to generate keys. One of the files generated
26 in your DataDirectory is your 'fingerprint' file. Mail it to
29 NOTE: You won't be able to use tor as a client or server
30 in this configuration until you've been added to the directory
31 and can authenticate to the other nodes.
35 If you want to use Tor for protocols that can't use Privoxy, or
36 with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks
37 (tsocks.sourceforge.net) and configure it to talk to localhost:9050
38 as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
41 (I had to "cd /usr/lib; ln -s /lib/libtsocks.so" to get the tsocks
42 library working after install, since my libpath didn't include /lib.)
43 Then you can do "tsocks ssh arma@moria.mit.edu". But note that if
44 ssh is suid root, you either need to do this as root, or cp a local
45 version of ssh that isn't suid.
