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 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
