[tor-relays] Debian-tor Vs User

[Mario Costa]

If you’re just trying to use nyx as your normal user, add your user to the debian-tor group. There is a unix control socket activated by default which is readable by the debian-tor user.

After you join the debian-tor group log out and back in, and then just:

$ nyx

-m
