The problems start
when I try and su to debian-tor. First I get a query for a password which it doesn't have. So I make a pass for debian-tor and enter it when I su to
debian-tor.

user|group debian-tor is a system-user and login shell is set to '/bin/false'. Means: NO LOGIN ALLOWED
This is for security reasons and should never be changed!
('/sbin/nologin' or '/bin/false' should not be changed for other system-user's either)

You should also delete the debian-tor password that you created in
'/etc/shadow'

The entry should then look like this: debian-tor:*:18315:0:99999:7:::
