<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I recently upgraded my tor version to 2.8.12 from 2.8.9(?) I
think.</p>
<p>Tor can now no longer bind to ports, as a regular user: <br>
</p>
<p><i>[warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:43: Permission denied</i><br>
<br>
</p>
<p>As root:</p>

</i></p>
<p>In the former case, I tried using eip to allow tor to bind to
ports lower than 1024 but it made no difference.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I suspect this an issue with the configuration of the server
rather than tor. Where should I start?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Chris<br>
