Yeah, you're right. If we ever meet not knowing we're us, imagine the

               Hi Christian

 I think you lost that cup of coffee! I did a bit more research since
my posting and found the info I needed by doing 'man tor' on my Ubuntu
14.04.3 system.

The tor man page says that tor looks for /etc/tor/torrc by default, or
$HOME/.torrc if that file is not found. I only have an /etc/tor/torrc
file and I am satisfied that it is being read correctly by tor. 

The ARM_WARN message of which I originally complained is an arm
problem, not a tor one, it seems.

 Thanks to all those who replied.

 Cheers

  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
