+\fBauthoritativedirectory \fR\fI0|1\fP
+When this option is set to 1, Tor operates as an authoritative
+directory server.  Instead of caching the directory, it generates its
+own list of good servers, signs it, and sends that to the clients.
+Unless the clients already have you listed as a trusted directory, you
+probably do not want to set this option.  Please coordinate with the other

 STRING is a command-separated list of Tor versions currently believed to be safe. The list is included in each directory, and nodes which pull down the directory learn whether they need to upgrade.
