Comment:

 You are supposed to use the `ClientOnionAuthDir` for the client-side here.

 Our docs are very bad here so this ticket is perfectly valid. We don't
 even mention the client-side in the `Client Authorization` section of the
 man page...

 Also maybe we should give out some friendly information when someone tries
 to use the old client autorization torrc option with v3, so that people
 don't need to guess what they need to do.

 Repurposing ticket. Thanks for this.
