[tor-relays] confusing error from "tor --verify-config"

[Patrice <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

my relay is running fine [zeiberschnitzel] and it got no errors. I can`t 
see anything in the logs either.
But when I do the command

#tor --verify-config

I got these outputs:

Dec 20 18:20:27.946 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.11 (git-9fc59eddc17a726a) 
running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1t and Zlib 1.2.8.

Dec 20 18:20:27.956 [warn] /var/lib/tor is not owned by this user (root,

Dec 20 18:20:27.957 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't 
access/create private data directory "/var/lib/tor"
Dec 20 18:20:27.957 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.


I would say it`s nothing tragical but I am curios about it.

Thanks and
Cheers
