Thanks for that. I hope he might. I would understand if there were a line in my torrc stating saying "CookieAuthentication 1". But I tried and I cannot find any text config file on my system that would specify that this is the default, co I deduce it must have been included in compile time, which - to me - is very confusing. But maybe that is the debian way.

Have you looked at and read the things in /usr/share/doc/tor? Have you looked at the command line of the tor process? Have you looked at the init script?
