Hello, I am using tor on Ubuntu 12.10, version of tor: v0.2.3.22-rc (git-4a0c70a817797420) The documentation https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en says that default value of CookieAuthentication is 0. However, until I set it 0 in my torrc, tor wanted a cookie ("host 9051 515 Authentication failed: Wrong length on authentication cookie.")
My torrc is this: FascistFirewall 1 ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 0 I guess the documentation (on the web and the man page and comments in torrc file) should ve mended to reflect this. Or am I missing something? Regards, Tomas Hnyk P.S.: I know I should use some form of authentication, but I just wanted to get tor running first and see what it can do.
