The debian package does chown var/run/tor, so I guess you did something
to screw up the permissions in the first place.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -A4 run /var/lib/dpkg/info/tor.postinst
for i in lib log run; do
chown -R debian-tor:debian-tor /var/$i/tor
chmod -R 700 /var/$i/tor
find /var/$i/tor -type f -exec chmod 600 '{}' ';'
done
Do you have any idea what you did to make var/run/tor or var/run/tor/tor.pid
owned by root?
