Re: [tor-relays] security/tor ignores torrc Log setting?

pa011:

if you put "Log notice file /var/log/tor/" in torrc you get [warn] Couldn't open file for 'Log notice file /var/log/tor/': Is a directory

Depending on your torrc this is expected, but George was implying another thing:

By default, FreeBSD's tor and tor-devel port want to store logs inside /var/log/tor/ **regardless** of what you put in the /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc

If my torrc says: Log notice syslog

it will not write to /var/log/tor/ so I can not confirm George's observation and was wondering what version he did observe the mentioned behavior.
