Thank you VERY much!<br><br>Main problem is that I've never been aware of DataDirectory<br>And in my torrc file is commented out so I'll uncomment it and alter it if needed.<br><br><b><i>James Muir <jamuir@scs.carleton.ca></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Mr. Blue wrote:<br>> I've found put that if I want to make nobody utilize Tor I must submit <br>> FULL path to Tor<br>> <br>> Like: /usr/local/bin/tor<br>> If I just type tor than it doesn't work.<br>> <br>> Now, when I try to execute Tor command like nobody I get this message:<br>> <br>> [notice] Tor v0.1.1.26.
