Re: [tor-relays] Testers needed for Nyx beta release

[Ralph Seichter <m16+tor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Damien,

the current version of nyx still produces event notices like these when
run as a user that is neither root nor the tor user ([sic] for the
missing spaces):

  10:33:26 [NYX_NOTICE] We were unable to use any of your system's
  resolvers to get tor's connections.This is fine, but means that the
  connections page will be empty. This isusually permissions related so
  if you would like to fix this then run nyx withthe same user as tor
  (ie, "sudo -u <tor user> nyx").
  10:33:11 [NYX_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with netstat, trying lsof
  10:32:53 [NYX_NOTICE] Unable to query connections with proc, trying netstat

In a discussion here some weeks ago, it was pointed out to me that it is
in fact *not* recommended to use "sudo <tor-user>" to run nyx.

-Ralph
