>Description:
tor rc script drops privileges before starting tor, since tor uses a new setuid/ setgid mechanism it must be started either as root or without the --User option
>How-To-Repeat:
upgrade tor tor-v0.2.32
try to start tor via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor start
>Fix:
There are two possible fixes for it:
1) start tor as root and specify the tor user
