  • Closed (moved) Issue created by Trac

    On RedHat based systems the defaultrc includes DataDirectoryGroupReadable set to 1. But when starting up the daemon this is ignored and chmod of /var/lib/tor is set back to 0700.

    This can be demostrated by the following test using vagrant:

    $ vagrant up

    ==> default: Importing base box 'centos/7'...
    ==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
