Bug 250584

Hello Tor friends,

I am using the multi instance support introduced in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207129 to run more than one Tor instance. I want to run some instances with a different routing table, so:


tor_instances="foo bar"
tor_foo_fib=1
tor_bar_fib=2


This currently doesn't work because tor_fib is not set for the so-called "slave" instances (that wording should be changed btw).

The following 1-line patch makes it work, although you may wish to implement it in another way  :)


# git diff tor /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor 
diff --git a/tor b/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor
index 57eb6c8..1ca4a70 100755

   fi
   if ! [ -r ${tor_conf} ]; then
     warn "tor instance ${inst_name} config file ${tor_conf} doesn't exist or isn't readable"


I hope we can get this into the port so I don't have to run with a local patch. Thank you!
