------------------------------+--------------------------
 On RedHat based systems the defaultrc includes DataDirectoryGroupReadable
 set to 1. But when starting up the daemon this is ignored and chmod of
 /var/lib/tor is set back to 0700.

 This can be demostrated by the following test using vagrant:
