IMHO Tor could benefit from an rc.d script. I have created one which drops privelages to uid and gid nobody and creates and sets a data dir of /var/run/tor. Feel free to improve or ignore.

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  I decided to do things in tor's config file rather than on tor's command line.

There is now a user/group for tor. It stores its data in /var/lib/tor. It is preconfigured to run as tor.tor and as a daemon using the correct data dir. Also, it is precofigured to run only as a client, not as a server.

nobody/nobody is already used by apache. For security reasons each daemon should have its own uid/gid.
