Hi folks,

my relay is running fine [zeiberschnitzel] and it got no errors. I can`t see anything in the logs either. But when I do the command

#tor --verify-config

I got these outputs:

Dec 20 18:20:27.946 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.11 (git-9fc59eddc17a726a) running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1t and Zlib 1.2.8.

I would say it`s nothing tragical but I am curios about it.

I would suggest running tor --verify-config as debian-tor user instead of root

FJTR, the service actually runs this:

| weasel@orinoco:~$ grep verify /lib/systemd/system/tor@default.service | ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc -f /etc/tor/torrc --RunAsDaemon 0 --verif -config
