tor/debian/README.Debian

This is the Debian package for Tor, The Onion Router.

Some changes have been made to the Tor source to integrate it better into
Debian.  If Tor is started as the 'debian-tor' user, then:

- RunAsDaemon is enabled by default.
- PidFile is set to /var/run/tor/tor.pid.  No default upstream.
- default logging goes to /var/log/tor/log instead of stdout.
- DataDirectory is set to /var/lib/tor by default.  Uses $HOME/.tor upstream.

If Tor is started as any other user it behaves just like upstream's.
