If you add a new hidden service to your torrc with a hidden service dir
not owned by the Tor process user (I ran across this by rsyncing an HS dir
from another box), and SIGHUP the Tor process, the error adding the HS is
not handled cleanly:
Example:
{{{
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [notice] Received reload signal (hup). Reloading
config and resetting internal state.
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [notice] Read configuration file /etc/tor/torrc.
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.4.20 opening log file.
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [warn] /var/tor/bitcoind_hidden_service/ is not owned
by this user (tor, 58) but by root (0). Perhaps you are running Tor as the
wrong user?
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [warn] Error loading rendezvous service keys
Jun 26 20:14:06.000 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options
left us in a broken state. Dying.
