---------------------------------+---------------------
 The current systemd unit uses "Type = simple", so systemd does not expect
 tor to fork. If the user has "RunAsDaemon 1" in their torrc, then things
 won't work as expected. This is e.g. the case on Debian (and derivatives),
 since there we pass "--defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-
 torrc" (that contains "RunAsDaemon 1") by default.

 The only solution I can see to this problem is to explicitly pass "--
 RunAsDaemon 0" when starting tor from the systemd unit file.
