Comment (by arma):
apparently the arm package tells people to "sudo -u debian-tor arm", and
that is very unwise because it gives arm access to (e.g.) tor's keys.
That's probably a good bug to file for arm.
Better is to have users "sudo adduser $USER debian-tor" as the user that
will be running arm, and then logout/login again and run arm. It will
automatically look for both the control port (not configured by default)
and the control socket (configured by default in the deb), and "should
just work".
