Comment(by tornewbie):
When tor starts and the ControlPort is set into torrc, it warns about
setting a password.
Probably I am wrong but setting a random password could be a really bad
idea just in case someone is using Vidalia to access his/her own remote
relay : this could permit to others bad things like , for example,
changing exit policy at runtime.
