Vidalia seems to assume that the local user is running Tor and that Vidalia has full control of Tor. This works well on Windows, but not unix-like OSes (osx/linux/unix) where Tor is installed as a separate user and provides ControlPort access via a tcp port. I'm open to changing the installer, but I'd prefer Vidalia to check for existing port 9051 (or whatever port is configured) first. Perhaps the Vidalia people will respond. -- Andrew
