 On the tor-relay-debian page, we used to tell people how to configure
 arm/nyx safely: see item 13 on
 https://web.archive.org/web/20171019233402/https://www.torproject.org/docs
 /tor-relay-debian
 The trick is to add your user to the debian-tor group, not to sudo your
 nyx to run as the debian-tor user.

 We seem to have dropped those instructions when we migrated to the wiki
 page at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide

 I noticed just now because I was trying to help another arm/nyx user on
 #tor, who was doing it the wrong way (presumably because they were
 following old instructions from somewhere else, like the old arm
 documentation).
