Thanks, but I am looking for ways to use shared policies on different
servers, each with different core settings (e.g. bandwidth). Syncing a
policies file and including it seemed the most convenient way to do it,
but until that feature becomes available, I'll stick to generating torrc.

Instead of modifying the shipped unit file + dpkg-* you can also replace
specific unit file settings using the so called drop-in files:

systemd.unit man page (debian stable):

If you're trying to apply the same policies across a number of relays on the 
same box, --defaults-torrc FILE can be used to provide default settings, and 
then each torrc can contain only the unique settings.

But on some OSs / distributions (like Debian), the defaults torrc file is in 
/usr/share/tor, not /etc/tor.

So if you want to modify it permanently, you'll need to protect that file from 
your package manager (using something like dpkg-divert), or change the 
--defaults-torrc path in your service manager (and if you're on Debian, that 
file is in /lib/systemd/system, and so you'll need to do dpkg-divert on it).

Thank you for pointing me to the issue tracker, and thanks also to the
other list members who replied. I was pretty certain that I was not the
first person to ask for such a feature.

One surely can do mkfifo + cat.

P.S. Ha-ha.

Ralph,

I don't believe so based on what I've read.  I have not personally tried it.

[tor-relays] How to include files into torrc?

2016-09-09 Thread Ralph Seichter 
Hello,

is it possible to include files into torrc? Something like this:

  # /etc/tor/torrc
  ORPort 443
  # Policies are kept in separate file for readability
  Include /etc/tor/policies

I checked https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en but could
not find anything. As an alternative, one can of course generate torrc
from other files, but I'd rather use an include feature, if available.
