Thanx fot the quick explanation!
I have set it back to DirPort 0.

One comment, would it not make more sense to give an error when trying to set DirPort != 0?
When configured the tor process will open that (now useless??) port and allow connections to it.
If it is unused why not simply give an error telling that DirPort is depracted and the config directive was ignored?

CU, Ricsi
