Update of /home/or/cvsroot/src/or
In directory moria.mit.edu:/tmp/cvs-serv11285/src/or

Modified Files:
	main.c 
Log Message:
Check that we can write to the logfile and log a warning to stderr if we can't
Move writing of pidfile after daemonizing, and also after setting the [ug]id:
This means that the tor user needs write priviliges to the pidfile location.
It needs it for unlinking the pidfile anyway.
