Comment (by atagar):

 We already have a FAQ entry for
 [https://nyx.torproject.org/#getting_started how to connect]. The ask here
 is to add something specifically about permissions. Seems to me this has
 two parts...

 * Our advice for the debian-tor setup. That should probably go in
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#DebianUbuntu
 its trac section].

 * What, if anything, Nyx's FAQ should say. This advice should be
 applicable to everyone.

 The second may take some discussion, and I'd like to see what Roger would
 care to propose first.

 Roger and I are generally in agreement, but we have some difference of
 priorities. In particular Roger is concerned with security edge cases
 whereas I care about usability. This is fine, and no doubt we'll get on
 the same page. But it might require discussing DisableDebuggerAttachment
 and tor's CookieAuthFileGroupReadable default.
