Hello to all, I got this warning : [warn] Tor is running as an exit relay. If you did not want this behavior, please set the ExitRelay option to 0.
But in /etc/tor/torrc file, I can not locate an y EXITRELAY option. Should I just type it without comments there with the 0 flag? Thank you!

Do you *WANT* to run a nexit relay? Then everything is fine and you can ignore the warning, or set ExitRelay 1, or set an ExitPolicy. If you don't want to run an Exit relay, set ExitRelay 0.

Not needed IMO - I'm under the impression that nowadays with recent Tor versions a user must opt-in to configure Tor to be an exit.

No, we have not changed this default. And if we do change it, we will remove the warning seen by the operator.
The latest manual page says:
ExitRelay 0|1|auto Tells Tor whether to run as an exit relay. If Tor is running as a non-bridge server, and ExitRelay is set to 1, then Tor allows traffic to exit according to the ExitPolicy option (or the default ExitPolicy if none is specified). … If ExitRelay is set to "auto", then Tor behaves as if it were set to 1, but warns the user if this would cause traffic to exit. … (Default: auto)

Hello. If it is not set in your torrc, try looking in the torrc-default file
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc
If you forget where this file is, look in the log where for two lines near the top for "loading torrc...." or something If nothing is there, write EXITRELAY 0 yourself, right at the bottom of your /etc/tor/torrc file.
