Comment (by atagar):

 Hi kaie. Please add the torrc that tor is running with, and restart tor
 with 'tor -f /path/to/that/file' to double check that it's running with
 that. In particular I'd like to double check that
 [https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/the_little_relay_that_could.html
 the ControlPort is properly set].

 > doesn't return the name of the process :(

 Actually, this isn't a problem with Fedora or netstat/lsof but rather
 something tor is doing. By default tor sets the DisableDebuggerAttachment
 which causes some of your /proc permissions to be set to root. This in
 turn breaks connection resolvers like netstat and lsof (this has been a
 thorn in my side for quite some time with [http://www.atagar.com/arm/
 arm]).

 You can change this by setting "DisableDebuggerAttachment 0" in your
 torrc.

 Cheers! -Damian
