Re: [tor-relays] Relay Control Port

[nusenu]

Matt Traudt:

Relays typically don't need a ControlPort or ControlSocket.

That said, having one that is only available on localhost (or via the
local filesystem with proper permissions) isn't really a problem.

If you really don't want that ControlSocket and you're using something
similar to Debian, it is getting set in
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc. Comment it out there and
reload tor.

Warning: that these files in /usr/share/tor aren't supposed to be
edited, and if the tor package ever has an update that changes them, the
update will be less smooth (e.g. it will refuse to work
non-interactively, or it may clobber your changes).


That file is not meant to be changed indeed.

The better way to disable ControlSocket is to
edit the torrc file (not the defaults-torrc):

ControlSocket 0
will disable it regardless what the same option says in the defaults file.


kind regards,
nusenu

[tor-relays] Relay Control Port

[sysmanager7 via tor-relays]

In torrc I have the control port commented out. I'm told the control port is 
not supposed to
be listed on the relay itself. Below, is now what it says. How do I get rid of 
it?
Control Socket: /run/tor/control GroupWritable RelaxDirModeCheck

Thank you for your help :-)
