Success!
Thank you all for the generous helps!
For other rookies like me, here is what I did step-by-step:
1. Manually generate a !HashControlPassword (e.g. tor --hash-password
thekeeeeeeeey)
2. use the hash in the /etc/tor/torrc
3. turnoff the random generate password in vidalia
4. use "thekeeeeeeeey" instead.
& voila it works!
Also, I'd chmod o-rwx on the /etc/tor/torrc & the vidalia.conf just to be
safe.
