[tor-relays] Questions regarding arm on Debian



Hi,

i have installed a new relay on Debian 8 and playing around with the arm tool.

1. Issue: Seeing Connections

I have added 'DisableDebuggerAttachment 0' to the config file as suggested and now i get this:

17:20:09 [ARM_NOTICE] We were unable to use any of your system's resolvers to get tor's connections. This is fine, but means that the connect- ions page will be empty. This is usually permissions related so if you would like to fix this then run arm with the same user as tor (ie,
   "sudo -u <tor user> arm").
 17:19:54 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with lsof, trying ss
17:19:39 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with sockstat, trying lsof 17:19:24 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with netstat, trying sockstat 17:19:09 [ARM_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with proc, trying netstat


Tor runs on Debian as user 'debian-tor' with no shell, so i cant just do 'sudo -u <tor user> arm' even if sudo was installed on the server. But i added my user to the debian-tor group. On a side note i never could get the CookieAuthentication working either. Seems to be permission issues with the default installation. Does somebody else have this issues on Debian?


2. Issue: It always says this message in the arm logs even if the service is just started a moment ago. If i reload the config it says the same thing shortly after.

17:18:59 [ARM_WARN] The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue a sighup to reload the torrc values by pressing x.
   - torrc values differ on lines: 118, 127

3. Issue: I dont understand this message. Nickname is edited by me so it does not match its default value. Also why is it unneeded?

17:18:59 [ARM_NOTICE] Unneeded torrc entries found. They've been highlighted in blue on the torrc page.
   - entry matches its default value: Nickname (line 117)
