<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""> Are you sure Tor is runnig under user ?pi? and not ?debian-tor?? What
is the value of the ?User? option in torrc? Who is the process owner:
see in `htop`, `top` or similar?</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
<p>Yes. I am starting tor as user pi with: <i>/usr/local/bin/tor
--quiet . </i>Therefore the process is owned by "pi", as htop
shows.<br>
<i></i></p>
<p>There is no specific user specified in the torrc.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""> Another question is, what?s the reasoning behind switching from a
dedicated user to the default system account??? shared with other services?</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
<p>I only did this, because I could. My thought of this was: Run it
as "pi" the main thing is that it is not root. </p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">? No Raspberry Pi OS Buster here, but googling indicates ?pi?
is the default user on a fresh install.</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, it is. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Why did the owner of the log files changed? Did tor this or the
OS? It is solved by setting the user to "pi" in the torrc?<br>
