So, after installing tor recently, I noticed I kept having to go "sudo
/etc/init.d/tor start" after a boot. I chalked it up to a
misconfiguration or error somewhere, and have put up with it for a
couple dozen reboots (I was busy with other problems) until I decided to
look into it this evening.
And it seems Tor isn't installed into any runlevel, at all, by default.
And nor can you can enable it via System->Administration->Services.
This seems suboptimal to me. It seems clear to me that:
# there is no reason one shouldn't be able to enale/disable Tor via Services,
so I think at a minimum that is warranted.
# Even better, run Tor by default (runlevel 2 or 3). Why not? In the default
client mode, it uses few resources. Running at boot gives it time to warm up
and test a few circuits by the time a user could log in and begin browsing
through it. It's convenient - if your applications use Tor (say, you've set
that in Preferences in Firefox, or via $http_proxy or by aliasing stuff to use
torify), they are going to use it every time, so there's no point in making it
opt-in, etc.
