This is standard behavior on basically all Linux distros. Typically apps that want to bind to a privileged port will launch as root, bind the port, then drop to an unprivileged user. Tor has configuration options to support this. See the "User" and "KeepBindCapabilities" options. --Sean _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
