Tor can be set up (on both Ubuntu and DragonFly) as a service which starts 
along with sshd, mail server, etc. I have a slight problem in my setup: my 
Tor configuration is at least partly on an encrypted partition, and when I 
boot, it asks for the password to the partition, but doesn't mount it. I have 
to manually mount it and restart Tor.
