Package: vidalia
Version: 0.1.12-1
Severity: wishlist

By default the tor daemon runs with the user debian-tor, but the Vidalia settings do not offer an easy way to accommodate this. Actually I don't know any way of setting Vidalia
to control the daemon running as debian-tor.

Ideally Vidalia would come preconfigured or could be easily configured for the Debian
situation.

While I can run once Vidalia as root/other_user, I would never run a daemon with another user than the default from Debian configuration, because I don't know the security implications. For this reason, while the bug is a whishlist one, it actually prevents me
from using Vidalia.
