Hi,
I’m a bit confused right now. I’ve upgraded my relay to Debian Jessie yesterday and since then, arm keeps telling me
[ARM_WARN] The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue a sighup to reload the torrc values by pressing x.
- configuration value is missing from the torrc: RunAsDaemon
I’m running the same configuration as before (running Debian Wheezy), where it worked without any warning. RunAsDaemon is set to 1 in tor-service-defaults-torrc, still arm is showing me on the Tor configuration page “RunAsDaemon False”. Putting RunAsDaemon into torrc as well triggers this:
[ARM_WARN] The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue a sighup to reload the torrc values by pressing x.
- torrc value differs on line: 17
The problem here: There is no line 17 in my torrc…
I’ve already read tickets like #16459[1] and #2501[2] but it didn’t help much. Damian says in Ticket #16459
[…] This message is meant to help people who edit their torrc, forget to restart tor, and are then confused why the settings didn't take effect. [...]
I did restart tor (a couple times) and apparently it is running as a Daemon (service --status-all). So I hope this is “just” an issue with arm… Maybe someone of you has an idea?
I’m running arm 1.4.5.0 and tor 0.2.7.5 (from deb.torproject.org http://deb.torproject.org/)
Cheers, Jannis

Hi Jannis, please read further in that ticket:
"I'll either be rewording or dropping the notice in the next release. Iirc Debian does something funky with regard to baking this setting into its tor binary, so in your case it's probably a false alarm due to that."
Probably not something to worry about.
Hi Damian,
thanks for the reply!

I've read that in the ticket, but considering that I get the tor binary from the Tor Project (deb.torproject.org http://deb.torproject.org/) and not from Debian, that was only contributing to my confusion :)
