    Making Tor's cookie auth file group-readable currently requires the use of two separate options:

    # (1) Current (as of Tor 0.3.0.10) and unwieldy
    CookieAuthFile /path/to/file
    CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1

    I suggest to replace the option CookieAuthFileGroupReadable with a flag GroupReadable for the CookieAuthFile option:

    # (2) Feature request: GroupReadable flag, replaces (1)
    CookieAuthFile /path/to/file GroupReadable

    This enhancement would feel more "natural" and is consistent with a similar flag for the ControlPort option:

    # (3) Current (as of Tor 0.3.0.10) and natural:
    ControlPort unix:/path/to/socket GroupWritable
