Weasel says circuit_get_by_conn is his main timesink. Most of its users were just checking whether OR conns had circuits, so add a circuit count to OR conns, and check that. One was circuit_about_to_close_conn, which was doing an O(n^2) series of calls to get all circs on an OR conn, so make an O(n) function for that. Finally, circuit_get_by_edge_conn was using it as a sanity test that has been around for a while but never found any actualy insanity, so kill that. circuit_get_by_conn is finally dead, which is good, since it was never sane to begin with. svn:r5460
'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
http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/.
Is your question in the FAQ? Should it be?

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.)
