sure some network-status we had referred to it, and refusing it if not. This is bad for people who want to insert descriptors that aren't part of the current Tor network. Now we accept them, and also give a more useful warn message if we ask a dir mirror for a given descriptor and it gives us one we weren't expecting. svn:r5824
'tor' is an implementation of The Onion Routing system, as
described in a bit more detail at http://www.onion-router.net/. You
can read list archives, and subscribe to the mailing list, at

See the INSTALL file for a quickstart. That is all you will probably need.

You only need to look beyond this point if the quickstart in the INSTALL

Configuring tsocks:
If you want to use Tor for protocols that can't use Privoxy, or
with applications that are not socksified, then download tsocks
(tsocks.sourceforge.net) and configure it to talk to localhost:9050
as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
server_port = 9050
server = 127.0.0.1
(I had to "cd /usr/lib; ln -s /lib/libtsocks.so" to get the tsocks
library working after install, since my libpath didn't include /lib.)
Then you can do "tsocks ssh arma@moria.mit.edu". But note that if
ssh is suid root, you either need to do this as root, or cp a local
version of ssh that isn't suid.
(On Windows, you may want to look at the Hummingbird SOCKS client,
or at SocksCap, instead.)
