Re: A Server-oriented Incognito?

You'd need a web server, hopefully something smaller and simplier than apache, any other kind of server? Since you'd want the ability to edit the content on the USB drive, the config could be in a directory structure like /hidden. The private key would need to be available, I would think in the home volume though since truecrypt can be used to encrypt it. Truecrypt works nicely on USB keys. I haven't tried using it yet under a bootable Linux install on a USB key, though I know of one such distro (Puppy Linux) that uses AES encryption on an optional basis to encrypt a persistent datastore on a USB key if you configure it to do so. Anyone else interested? Someone who is running hidden services have ideas, concerns? It would probably have to be stripped down a lot, but XAMPP might be someplace to start: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html Also, Puppy Linux has its own web server that is complex enough to run a small wiki as a personal tool.

Re: Tor not working
No, I don't run Vidalia unless I need to do something. I've never had to use it to start Tor under 10.3.9, as it's supposed to start automatically.

Re: Tor not working
Yes, that's the directory I'm referring to, and Privoxy is in there. However, I believe I've discovered the problem, and it's something that was overlooked by the developers: there's no torstartup.pkg included in the installer for the latest version of Tor and Vidalia bundle. But, if you go to the download page for experts and download that package for OS X (Tor-0.1.1.24-tiger-ppc-Bundle.mpkg), it is included, whereas Vidalia is not. So I downloaded that package and installed it, and now everything works as it did before. --Spin Doctor On Oct 4, 2006, at 9:54 AM, Jay Goodman Tamboli wrote: To be clear, you're talking about the /Library/StartupItems directory, right?

This is very frustrating. If you are using the vidalia-tor bundle, Privoxy is already configured to forward to Tor for you. If you know Terminal at all, run the following commands: sudo /Library/StartupItems/Tor/Tor stop sudo /Library/StartupItems/Tor/Tor start This will restart Tor completely. If privoxy continues to return 503 errors, something else is broken in the pathway between Tor and Privoxy. One interesting thing is that your ps output showed Tor ControlPort 9051.
