Found the solution at the bottom of this page: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-relay-debian.html.en 13. You might like to use the arm relay monitor to watch your relay's activities from the command line. First, "sudo apt-get install tor-arm". Second, as the user that will be running arm, run "sudo adduser $USER debian-tor" to add your user to the debian-tor group so it can reach Tor's controlsocket. Then log out and log back in (so your user is actually in the group), and run "arm". Does anyone know if tor arm can be run locally and tunnelled (rather than remotely logging in and viewing the remote instance)? I tried but arm seems to want to still talk to a local tor instance. Sorry this is a separate question. TIA Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
