Sorry, to dumb to handle Android Mail. And prone to mistrust regarding my private address.

Hi all,
I might miss the point, but as I also run Tor on Ubuntu, I can confirm it reads both config files, the default one and my torrc. The default one makes sure e.g. privilege dropping to user debian-tor and a few other things in case you miss to set them properly. My ORPort and other config is done via my torrc. And I would bet a cup of tasty coffee that Tor on Ubuntu looks for /etc/torrc and not for /etc/tor/torrc, but I always lose when I'm willing to bet, so I guess it's just a little stubborn.
Greetings to you all.
Christian

It normally uses /usr/bin/<service name>

I noticed when I start arm that it is telling me that
The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue sighup to reload ...
It seems that tor is running with default values and is not reading /etc/tor/torrc as there is no ... -f /etc/tor/torrc option being used by the running tor when it is displayed with 'ps'.
The 'ps' output for the tor instance is
/usr/bin/tor --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc --hush
I had asumed that because I have set DirPort to 80 and ORPort to 443 in /etc/tor/torrc and can see in the tor log files that those two ports are reachable from outside, that the running tor was reading /etc/tot/torrc.
Something is amiss with my tor configuration but I don't know what.
Any hints as to where to look would be welcome while I try to RTFM again!
Cheers
Q
This isn't really a Tor issue, it's an Ubuntu one. But you need to figure out how "service" is launching Tor and change it to point to your /etc torrc.
