If you want it to work as I've described, as a transparent proxy, you'll 
need to follow all the steps I've detailed.

Yes, of course you can su - _tor
The given start stop method is
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor stop

The way I've described, the machine becomes a transparent tor proxy for 
all machines that use it as their default gateway and dns servers.
This has a huge advantage in that the client machines are un-trickable. 
You don't have to figure out how to "proxify" anything.
You cannot misconfigure their network / proxy settings. Everything uses 
the network exactly as it always does.
If they have no direct access to the internet, they cannot be forced to 
reveal your real IP.
