To set up your own Tor network, you need to run your own directory

servers, and you need to change the tarball so it points to your directory

servers rather than the default ones.

about your directory servers rather than the default ones.

<li>3: Create the new dirservers file. You do this by concatenating the

"router.desc" files from each dirserver's DataDirectory: <tt>cat router1.desc

each server (including directory servers), and include them (one per
