<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I might miss the point, but as I also run Tor on Ubuntu, I
can confirm it reads both config files, the default one and my
torrc.</div>
<div>The default one makes sure e.g. privilege dropping to user
debian-tor and a few other things in case you miss to set them
properly.</div>
<div>My ORPort and other config is done via my torrc.</div>
<div>And I would bet a cup of tasty coffee that Tor on Ubuntu
looks for /etc/torrc and not for /etc/tor/torrc, but I always
lose when I'm willing to bet, so I guess it's just a little
stubborn.</div>

<div>Greetings to you all.</div>
