Hello, I am using tor on Ubuntu 12.10, version of tor: v0.2.3.22-rc (git-4a0c70a817797420) The documentation https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en says that default value of CookieAuthentication is 0. However, until I set it 0 in my torrc, tor wanted a cookie ("host 9051 515 Authentication failed: Wrong length on authentication cookie.")
My torrc is this: FascistFirewall 1 ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 0 I guess the documentation (on the web and the man page and comments in torrc file) should ve mended to reflect this. Or am I missing something?
The default in src/or/config.c is zero: V(CookieAuthentication, BOOL, "0"),
There could be a change in the source you've got, or an override of the default option in a "torrc.defaults" file, or something.
