Interesting, thanks Ralph. With the new connection resolution I
wouldn't expect process permissions to come into play. I assume your
user's able to read /proc/net/tcp'? If so then mind running 'nyx
--debug' and sending me the log (minus anything you consider private)?

On a side note I'm not the one that's been advising for you to not run
as tor's user. That said, knowing Roger if we spoke more he'd probably
persuade me to his side. Either way, lets avoid the headache of
needing those permissions if we can.
