[tor-relays] CentOS Tor exit node broken after updating to 2.8.12

Hello,

I recently upgraded my tor version to 2.8.12 from 2.8.9(?) I think.

Tor can now no longer bind to ports, as a regular user:

/[warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:43: Permission denied/

As root:

/Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Opening OR listener on 0.0.0.0:43//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Opening Directory listener on 0.0.0.0:9030//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Socks
listener on 127.0.0.1:9050//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Control
listener on 127.0.0.1:9051//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed OR listener
on 0.0.0.0:43//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [notice] Closing partially-constructed Directory
listener on 0.0.0.0:9030//
//Feb 25 11:57:14.942 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to
bind one of the listener ports.//
/

In the former case, I tried using eip to allow tor to bind to ports
lower than 1024 but it made no difference.


I suspect this an issue with the configuration of the server rather than
tor. Where should I start?


Best,

Chris
