This is the Debian package for Tor, The Onion Router.
Some changes have been made to the Tor source to integrate it better into
-Debian. If Tor is started as the 'debian-tor' user, then:
+Debian. If Tor is started as root or the 'debian-tor' user, then:
-- RunAsDaemon is enabled by default.
-- PidFile is set to /var/run/tor/tor.pid. No default upstream.
-- default logging goes to /var/log/tor/log instead of stdout.
-- DataDirectory is set to /var/lib/tor by default. Uses $HOME/.tor upstream.
+- RunAsDaemon is enabled,
+- PidFile is set to /var/run/tor/tor.pid (No default upstream),
+- default logging goes to /var/log/tor/log (instead of stdout),
+- DataDirectory is set to /var/lib/tor (uses $HOME/.tor upstream),
+- User and Group are set to "debian-tor".
If Tor is started as any other user it behaves just like upstream's.
