Tor on a live disk

[Jon Cosby]

I'm trying to run Tor on a live disk, but keep seeing the warning "user
tor not found." Tor fails to start. It looks like I just need to add a
user, but which groups would this user need to belong to?


linux-rvcp:~ # /etc/init.d/tor start
Starting tor daemon
                                                                     done
