I greatly appreciate help with this especially from someone who's configured a relay on CentOS.
I assume you have some familiarity with editing a torrc. If so the standard thing to do when running relays on U*IX systems is to not use vidalia at all, but to run tor as a service.
The Tor Project provides RPMs suitable for Centos 6 for this purpose.
The repo is at: http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/el/6/
The PGP key used to sign the RPMs are available at: http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-torproject.org.asc
You can add the repository to the yum, `yum install tor`. The `torrc` for tor installed this way lives in `/etc/tor/torrc`. The RPM also integrates it as a system service, so you can have it auto start on boot if desired. You may also need to configure iptables to allow connections to the ORPort and DirPort.
Good luck and thanks for running a relay!
