[tor-relays] Who am I?

[William Kane]

It's obvious whats happening, in the first example Tor can't bind to the
reserved port range, running it as root it can bin of course, but the data
directory is owned by the package-supplied tor user so it refuses to start.

Please read more carefully next time, this is pretty basic linux sysadmin
knowledge and the logs tell you exactly whats wrong - now it is up to you
to find a solution by using the search engine of your choice.

Hint: running it as root is the worst solution to this problem..
