Summary:                    /opt/csw/bin/vidalia executes but fails to start tor
Description: 
You may have trouble starting tor with vidalia and see this in your vidalia
log:


[Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private
data directory "/opt/csw/bin"
[Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above.


Since version 0.2.19 Vidalia uses the path of the vidalia executable as the
DataDirectory.  This is designed deliberately in the software and is not a
bug, but rather a security check.  It has todo with the Tor Browser Bundle
project.
