When I start Tor, I get an error which says:
Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to init Log options

I tried submitting this without sending a PR and just sent it to the
mailing lists
<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-April/091338.html>,
but I got no response, so I decided to come here.

Fix: I have a patch to fix this:
CONFLICTS=     tor-devel-[0-9]*

+PLIST_SUB=     USERS=${USERS}
+PLIST_SUB+=    GROUPS=${GROUPS}
+
  .include <bsd.port.options.mk>

  .if ( (${OSVERSION} < 900000) || \



So what this patch does is, that it makes the /var/log/tor logfile, the /var/run/tor directory for the tor.pid file, and makes /var/(log,run)/tor owned by _tor (or whatever user is specified to run Tor).--JgWd90qHvq2XdeEs2y1sJ4gURDCnxnKa8Y2V0XynjZotL3Lf

How-To-Repeat: 1. Install /usr/ports/security/tor
2. Copy /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc
3. Start Tor (run "service tor onestart" without the quotes)
4. If /var/log/tor doesn't exist and isn't isn't owned by _tor, you get the error:
