Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
> I'm not sure I understand: How would Tor know which user to switch to
(or which other privileges to drop) if it has not first read the torrc
file?
sorry if I was not clear about that: I was suggesting to drop privileges
*after* reading the torrc file
> And would reading the torrc file not count as using the filesystem?
reading the torrc file as the user that is used to start tor (root in this
case is fine)
