I've installed the tor package via homebrew, and cofigured /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc according to the documentation.

My problem is that every time I try to use launchctl I get an error, both as an admin user and via sudo.

As an admin user:

Could not open job overrides database at: /private/var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.502/overrides.plist: 13: Permission denied launch_msg(): Socket is not connected

When run via sudo it complains about "dubious owbership on file" and says "nothing found to load".

I followed whatever documentation I could find. The torrc config is on torproject.org under "configuring a relay graphically" (I know this isn't graphically), the homebrew info is linked to in the same article and looks to be from a mailing list discussion.

I wanted to set up a simple relay to run automatically when the (OS X) machine boots. It's a home server on a 30MB/sec symmetrical fiber line. Since I run the machine as a file server anyway, I figured I could allocate some bandwidth and help support the community.

Thanks, Surf Norway
