I can't image a single reason why Tor should be configured to run a relay without the system admins knowledge.
Debian did this - I'm not sure if it does that any more.
This bug is not present in current and recent versions of Debian.
`apt-get install tor` used to run an exit relay unless you uncomment "ExitPolicy reject *:*" in torrc. I had the same problem a few years ago, suddenly captchas started appearing everywhere after installing tor.
Do you mean this bug in Tor 0.1.0 which was fixed in 2005?
-------------- begin quote from the Debian changelog --------------
tor (0.1.0.11-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream version (closes: #316753): - Fixes a serious bug: servers now honor their exit policies - In 0.1.0.x only clients enforced them so far. 0.0.9.x is not affected. * Build depend on libevent-dev >= 1.1. * Urgency high because 0.0.9.10-1 did not make it into testing after like 3 weeks because of an impending ftp-master move. So I might just as well upload this one.
