TorGate:
is this a god ide tor running as root ?
It doesn't run as root. root starts the daemon, then switches over to unprivileged/nologin _tor user.
Is this the case even if "ps -C tor u" shows it runs as root?
No, 'ps' should show the unprivileged user. Check whether you have a "User" setting in your torrc. (I think George was referring specifically to the way FreeBSD pkgsrc configures tor.)
