Do you want to run a tor server?
We're looking for people with reasonably reliable Internet connections,
that have at least 1Mbit each way. Currently we don't use all of that,
but we want it available for burst traffic.
(The Tor server doesn't need to be run as root, and doesn't need any
special system permissions or kernel mods. You should probably run it
as its own user though, especially if you run an identd service too.)
First, copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in
/usr/local/etc/tor/), and edit the middle part. Create the
DataDirectory, and make sure it's owned by the uid/gid that will be
running tor. Fix your system clock so it's not too far off. Make sure
name resolution works.
Then run tor to generate keys. One of the files generated
in your DataDirectory is your 'fingerprint' file. Mail it to
tor-ops@freehaven.net.
Please also tell us in that mail who you are, so we know whom to contact
if there's any problem. Also describe what kind of connectivity the new
server will have. If possible PGP sign your mail.
You may find the initscript in contrib/tor.sh useful if you
want to set up Tor to start at boot.

Do you want to run a hidden service?
Copy torrc.sample to torrc (by default it's in /usr/local/etc/tor/), and
edit the bottom part. Then run Tor. It will create each HiddenServiceDir
you have configured, and it will create a 'hostname' file which
specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You can tell people
the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client.
