Looking at the details of parse_ports(), the warning/comment isn't entirely accurate: it seems that any configured "port" is enough to disable the warning (even a DirPort, ControlPort/ControlSocket(!), or ExtORPort). Which is why I'm not seeing it on the directory-only tor instance I have configured. Then again, the core message is accurate - a tor instance that doesn't act as a tor client or relay isn't going to do much. Tim
