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...regardsWang--
