To answer your question, I recommend you avoid the OpenBSD Tor port,
or ask them to actually maintain it. Try installing Tor from source. -RD]

Subject: OpenBSD port broke server

Hello,

First, I built libevent and tor from source under OpenBSD 3.6.  For
some reason, at that time, I failed to get it running as a server.

So I tried again a couple days ago with more recent versions of both
pieces of software.  Only Tor, according to the logs, insisted on
using the old version of libevent, and complaining about it.  But at
least it came up as a server and started doing things.

I am attempting to run this on my router.

Now I've upgraded to OpenBSD 3.7 (the most recent version), and tried
installing Tor from the port.  Now, it doesn't seem to run as a
server.  The documentation is failing to help.  Also note that
OpenBSD's port for libevent lacks a Makefile and is therefore
apparently unbuildable.

The nick for the server is greybeard95a.  The fingerprint is 1924 F18E
FBCE F9A7 2038 77C2 ADE5 3630 BF5C 2EAE.  I see one copy of the Tor
apparently running (currently under daemontools), but none of the log
entries I was getting before.  Nothing about how it's checking to see
if it can be reached from the outside, for example.

Also, does the OpenBSD port modify the /etc/rc structure somehow to
start automatically at boot or do I need to leave it as is, under
daemontools?
