--- Begin Message ---Package: tor Version: 0.2.5.12-1 Severity: minor Hello Every time tor starts, it is complaining in /var/log/tor/log : Jan 30 08:27:24.000 [warn] Couldn't rename configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc" to "/etc/tor/torrc.orig.1": Permission denied I don't quite know why tor wants to tune its own configuration. But there is something wrong going on: Permission of /etc/tor/torrc probably should be changed to allow user debian-tor to change it. Maybe a chown of /etc/tor/ ? It is possible this is a functionality disabled by design in Debian, as a security precaution. Please, in that case, document this in README.Debian.

No, daemons have no business of changing their configuration. It may be that your controller or some other software instructs Tor to re-write its configuration file, but that's simply not supported in such a set-up.
