Aug 19 18:28:35.637 [warn] Error setting to configured GID: Operation not permitted Aug 19 18:28:35.637 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Problem with User or Group value. See logs for details. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run "/etc/init.d/tor start" using default torrc from torrc.sample 2. 3. Actual Results: Tor fails to start. Expected Results: remove all instances "--chuid tor" from /etc/init.d/tor OR comment/remove "Group tor" from /etc/tor/torrc Default config or init script should probably be changed to reflect this. This was from a fresh install of tor-0.1.2.19-r2 and tor-0.2.0.30
Please post your `emerge --info' too.

I don't have this problem...also with the default config. Does the group/user tor exist? Do you start tor as a user or as root (the latter I assume)? What are the permissions and UID/GID values on /etc/tor/torrc and the data directories as /var/{log,run,lib}/tor?
all directorys and files are tor:tor tor is set to run in the boot sequence (default, not boot) but it fails thru the script if started off the command line as well as thru the startup. Everything is as it should be as far as i can tell; from Tor's irc channel im told that the problem was that the init.d and the torrc were both specifying a group. tor would run from the command line (just running `tor`), but not the script (`/etc/init.d/tor start`), hence having to disable one of the 2 modes to specify a group. it ran from the command line because it didnt have the init script telling it to change groups as well as the torrc.
Initscript fixed, thanks for the report.
