Yeah, you're right. If we ever meet not knowing we're us, imagine the guy looking like an eremite hippie would just really invite you to his favourite coffee shop. ;-)

Hi Christian
I think you lost that cup of coffee! I did a bit more research since my posting and found the info I needed by doing 'man tor' on my Ubuntu 14.04.3 system.
The tor man page says that tor looks for /etc/tor/torrc by default, or $HOME/.torrc if that file is not found. I only have an /etc/tor/torrc file and I am satisfied that it is being read correctly by tor.
The ARM_WARN message of which I originally complained is an arm problem, not a tor one, it seems.
Thanks to all those who replied.
Cheers

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. My ORPort and other config is done via my torrc. 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. Greetings to you all.

It normally uses /usr/bin/<service name>

I noticed when I start arm that it is telling me that
The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue sighup to reload ...
It seems that tor is running with default values and is not reading /etc/tor/torrc as there is no ... -f /etc/tor/torrc option being used by the running tor when it is displayed with 'ps'.
The 'ps' output for the tor instance is
/usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc --hush
I had asumed that because I have set DirPort to 80 and ORPort to 443 in /etc/tor/torrc and can see in the tor log files that those two ports are reachable from outside, that the running tor was reading /etc/tot/torrc.
Something is amiss with my tor configuration but I don't know what.
Any hints as to where to look would be welcome while I try to RTFM again!
Cheers
Q
This isn't really a Tor issue, it's an Ubuntu one. But you need to figure out how "service" is launching Tor and change it to point to your /etc torrc.
