Re: [tor-relays] I'm Running A Tor Exit But Never Initiated It

["krutt@xxxxxxxx" <krutt@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey there,

This situation sounds really weird. Could you try running
sudo cat /var/lib/tor/fingerprint
on one of your Tor-machines? Then we can determine whether you are
really running an exit relay.

As Arjen stated before, you can probably remove the Tor package with
sudo apt-get install tor

Best regards,
KRutt
