Interesting. I didn't know this, and I've always used "sudo -u" as well.
Thanks for sharing.

For the archives, the link above ultimately leads here:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian#after (See step 13). The
crux of it:

as the user that will be running arm, run "sudo adduser $USER debian-tor"
> to add your user to the debian-tor group so it can reach Tor's
> controlsocket. Then log out and log back in (so your user is actually in
> the group), and run "arm".
