[tor-relays] tor version question

[torix]

Thanks very much, Nusenu - I was sometimes copying a bad configuration file from one to another FreeBSD relays; Tor versions are all good now.  I won't worry why one of my relays with the EPEL 8 repo got me 0.4.6.7 while the other two are at 0.4.5.10 since 5.10 is good enough.
