Comment (by wagon):
> Disable cookie authentication in `torrc` (we don't need it), but enable
password authentication in `torrc`. If you curious about the reasons, read
my explanation in another comment.
UPDATE: In principle, it may be better to use SafeCookie as I explained
[[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28295#comment:7|here]].
If Nyx has to have access to `torrc` file and Tor logs (to display their
content), user used to run Nyx should be added to `debian-tor` group. If
restricted functionality (only `ControlPort` is accessible) is sufficient,
Nyx can be launched from user who is not member of `debian-tor` group.
