If you want Polipo to run on a particular port then configure it to do so.

The above says: "f. If you installed Polipo yourself (not from a bundle), did you edit the config file as described? Did you restart Polipo after this change? Are you sure?" http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en says in *bold*: "*you will need to configure Polipo to use Tor*", and tells you how to do it. Polipo is used for a lot of things other than Tor and 8123 is its standard port. Roger (Still not speaking for Debian) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
