Tor never ever looks at the torrc.orig.%d file. It simply renames torrc to it if the torrc doesn't have the magic string at the top: #define GENERATED_FILE_PREFIX "# This file was generated by Tor; " \ "if you edit it, comments will not be preserved" > It seems I could add them to the torrc as the torrc > has my Bandwith config settings which are not removed > when I re-configure Vidalia. > > Or, when Tor exicutes SETCONF (after Vidalia's 'save' > button is clicked) is the torrc.orig.1 file re-parsed > by Tor and then copied into the torrc along with the > settings made via. Vidalia? No, Tor totally ignores the torrc.orig.%d file. > The reason I ask is the comments in the torrc imply it > should not be manually edited. What comments imply this? Can you help us fix the wording? --Roger
