Hi folks,
my relay is running fine [zeiberschnitzel] and it got no errors. I can`t
see anything in the logs either.
But when I do the command
#tor --verify-config
I got these outputs:
Dec 20 18:20:27.946 [notice] Tor v0.2.8.11 (git-9fc59eddc17a726a)
running on Linux with Libevent 2.0.21-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1t and Zlib 1.2.8.

access/create private data directory "/var/lib/tor"
Dec 20 18:20:27.957 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
I would say it`s nothing tragical but I am curios about it.
Thanks and
Cheers
