Switch from root to user = su usrname >Password. The problems start
when I try and su to debian-tor. First I get a query for a password which
it doesn't have. So I make a pass for debian-tor and enter it when I su to
debian-tor. I enter whoami and the response is: user and not debian-tor.
With or without a password it doesn't work. Secondly, if I su debia-tor >
passwrd - sudo -u debian-tor nyx it produces a page and a half of pure
gibberish. Sudo -i to root and enter nyx, it operates perfectly; and yes
I understand I shouldn't run nyx as root.
How do I become debian-tor so I can operate my bridge correctly? Adriann

Hello Kathi
You need to add your standard user to the debian-tor group. it is not
necessary to set a password for the debian-tor user or to try to su to
that debian-tor.
If your username is kathi then as the following one-liner should do what
you need on debian:
"sudo adduser kathi debian-tor"
Then arm/nyx should fire up as the kathi user...

Wang
