#2722: TunnelDirConns option affects hid_serv_get_responsible_directories
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Tor Hidden Services | Version: Tor: 0.2.2.23-alpha
Keywords: | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
If the !TunnelDirConns torrc option is off,
`hid_serv_get_responsible_directories` skips over any HSDir relay that
does not advertise a !DirPort when building its list of hidden service
directory nodes 'responsible' for a descriptor ID. This behaviour cannot
possibly be correct.
The !TunnelDirConns option should not affect a Tor instance's use of
hidden service directories, as clients and hidden services ''always''
connect to hidden service directories anonymously (thus using
`BEGIN_DIR`). Also, in order for the hidden service directory system to
work correctly, every Tor instance must consider the same set of hidden
service directories to be responsible for a descriptor ID, regardless of
its configuration settings.
