Along with my recent OS upgrade I have also updated my tor relay from0.2.4.3-alpha to 0.2.4.20. The latter version write two identical copies of every message to the log file. I have only one uncommented "Log " line in my torrc, which is
Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log
but every single message is getting written to the file twice.
Which package did you install? If it was the deb, look at
I used portmaster to install it from security/tor-devel in the FreeBSD ports tree.
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc (these are the default defaults, if you will).
In FreeBSD, anything from ports and packages normally gets installed somewhere under /usr/local, not /usr. /usr/local/share/tor contains only two files, geoip and geoip6. However, I now see that Fabian Keil freebsd-listen@fabiankeil.de has responded, too:
I'm guessing FreeBSD in which case the culprit is probably the rc script which enables notice logging by default:
fk@r500 ~ $grep Log /usr/jails/tor-jail/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor command_args="-f ${tor_conf} --PidFile ${tor_pidfile} --RunAsDaemon 1 --DataDirectory ${tor_datadir} --+Log ${tor_loglevel}\ file\ ${tor_logfile}"
Aw, hell. This is the first time in many years that I have built and installed tor from the ports tree, and I had forgotten all about the script. This sort of nonsense was one of several reasons I took to building tor manually and apart from the ports system. I would have done so again, except that 0.2.4.3-alpha was the last version that I was able to compile and have execute correctly. The port apparently chooses a set of build configuration options that works, so I used it. :-( So the makefile for the port replaced the old, slightly tailored version of that script that I had used for any years. :-( I guess I"m going to delve further into what it will take to resume building and installing tor outside the ports system. Thanks, Fabian and Roger.
