I think this could be wrong:
TOR_CONTROL_COOKIE_AUTH_FILE=/var/run/tor/control_auth_cookie
That block was supposed to be in a bunch of if statements. Fixed. The default path that gets set is unchanged.
Debian /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc uses: CookieAuthFile /var/run/tor/control.authcookie
So? I don't use Debian for development.
Common paths are: - /var/run/tor/control.authcookie - /var/lib/tor/control_auth_cookie
I write software for me, default configs will continue to reflect how my development environment is setup. I assume people can use setenv/export to override it, or if it bothers them that much, use vi/nano/pico/ed/ex/emacs/xemacs. As a side note, there's zero real reason for this particular env var to exist at all (See #16017), beyond "no one has cared enough to write what should be a simple branch". Regards, -- Yawning Angel
