do you need a patch for this? in src/or/config.c, it looks like it's
currently logging by default to stdout still:
/* Special case on first boot if no Log options are given. */
if (!options->Logs && !options->RunAsDaemon && !from_setconf) {
if (quiet_level == 0)
config_line_append(&options->Logs, "Log", "notice stdout");
else if (quiet_level == 1)
config_line_append(&options->Logs, "Log", "warn stdout");
}
so i'm a little confused about how the debian package is defaulting to
/var/log/tor/log anyway :/
