Comment (by wagon):

 Will you add custom path to cookie file?
 > The second point. Nyx doesn't support cookie authentication too!
 Strictly speaking, it can read cookie file only from standard place in
 `/var/run/tor`. I cannot give to nyx some copy of `CookieAuthFile` (with
 the same content) located at another place. This has to be implemented in
 Nyx.
