Simply providing the password does not result in a connection to the controlport. (vidalia v0.2.9) Correct. Start Tor is perhaps not the best name for what it actually does, which is try to connect to a running Tor, and if so try to authenticate to it. If there is no running Tor (or more precisely, if nothing is listening on the control port that Vidalia is configured to look on), start one. --Roger *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

The option above should start a new tor process, spawned by vidalia. I too have tor running at startup as its own user, and that box ticked in Vidalia. Starting Vidalia later does bring up the password box and connect to the exisiting process.
