TLS errors

[Tony]

You are correct - they are 'info' notices. 

Bit worrying for new TOR users as it says 'tls error'. You might want to
note that its normal in the FAQ somewhere.

Are you sure you're getting them at log-level notice? Usually those
lines are at log-level info, and if so they're harmless.  But if you're
seeing them at 'notice', then there may be other problems -- can you
post a few lines of context? Hopefully the log lines around it will
be self-explanatory.

I'm sorry to hear that. Now might be a fine time to take one of their
admins out for a beer, make a friend, and teach him about Tor. :)
