TorGate:
is this a god ide tor running as root ?

It doesn't run as root. root starts the daemon, then switches over to
unprivileged/nologin _tor user.


Is this the case even if "ps -C tor u"  shows it runs as root?

No, 'ps' should show the unprivileged user. Check whether you have a
"User" setting in your torrc.  (I think George was referring
specifically to the way FreeBSD pkgsrc configures tor.)
