Hi Pierre. Nope, no need to change your torrc - the control port is
only available on localhost by default (not sure why Josef said that).
Some FreeBSD jail and OpenVZ configs assign 127.0.0.1 to a non-loopback interface.
We're working on detecting that in Trac ticket #17901, until then, it's more reliably secure to use a ControlSocket on these systems.
Alternately, you can confirm that:
* The first IP address assigned to the FreeBSD jail is not a public address (FreeBSD redirects jail connections to 127.0.0.1 to the first jail IP address), or
* OpenVZ has not assigned 127.0.0.1 to a non-loopback interface, you want it on lo* rather than venet* (you can use ifconfig or similar to check this)
