<pre wrap="">Hi,
I just tried to chroot my Tor Server using the Scripts accessable on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.northernsecurity.net/download/">http://www.northernsecurity.net/download/</a> . when running /etc/init.d/tor
I find the following in the log file:
[notice] Tor 0.1.0.10 opening log file.
[notice] Initialized libevent version 1.1 using method epoll
[err] finish_daemon (): /dev/null can't be opened. Exiting.
What does it mean? I'm not a linux guru at all, just experimenting ...
Any ideas?

It means /dev/null wasnt created by the tor-chroot script, the line is
mknod -m 0666 $CHROOTDIR/dev/null c 1 3
I run the scripts on Debian and haven't had any problems with them, they
are not tested on any other distribution or operating system so using
them on something other then Debian might be a gamble.

Hi Thomas,<br>
<br>
thanks for the reply (did forget the subject ...). I'm running those
scripts on Debian too (Sarge).<br>
When running the tor-chroot script again it says that
/var/chroot/tor/dev/null already exists.<br>
