-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 I am running arm on GNU/Linux in the context of a user that is neither
 root nor the user of the tor instance that is monitored. Obviously all
 available connection resolver fail.

 I think it is feasible to get the arm user to be able to write an own
 connection resolver. This could be achieved by adding a new option in
 armrc that links to a user provided file that implements the listener.
 I would solve my problem then by writing one that executes sudo -u my-tor-
 user netstat -np etc. - with the sudo being a NONPASSWD-command via
 /etc/sudoers.
