The 0.2.5.x rpm package switched over to defaults-torrc for default settings (instead of having them hardcoded on command line). CookieAuthentication was turned on in 0.2.5.9 package in the defaults-torrc, apparently setting HashedControlPassword in torrc did not override CookieAuthentication from defaults-torrc. It's fixed now in 0.2.5.10 rpm package that's just been uploaded into the repo. CookieAuthenthication is back to default. Thanks for catching that.
