Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour, tbh. I was just looking for adding tork in portage, but that requires to run privoxy command from user, which in turn means that with the current privoxy ebuild users have to tinker themselves to make it work.

If this is an intended behaviour, could you at least make it an useflag or something?

Thanks,
Diego

I didn't really thought it would be useful to someone. Lets see what changes you need:
 - /usr/sbin/privoxy should have 0755 mode
 - configuration files - owner root:root with 0644 (don't appear to contain sensible information such as passwords)

Apart from these changes, what else do you need? Just don't ask me to change anything in /var/log/privoxy ;)

I've changed root:0 instead of root:root in the package to keyword it ~x86-fbsd (no root group), for the rest, that is enough for TorK to work as intended.
