needs root to run internal relay

[themusicgod1]

Unlike vidalia, which was capable of starting tor all on its own, arm complains that it can't start tor on its own, and that you have to open a new terminal, and start it outside of arm. Bad enough tor-arm is curses based - but getting people to go run commands in a terminal is way over the head of most users.

quote:

12:26:12 [ARM_NOTICE] Tor needs root permissions to start with this configu-
 │ ration (it will drop itself to the current user afterward). To continue...
 │ - open another terminal
 │ - run "sudo /home/themusicgod1/.arm/startTor"
 │ - press 'r' here to tell arm to reconnect [1 duplicate hidden]

and yet if you run with sudo -u arm or sudo arm arm complains that you're using it as root.

at the very least prompt the user for administrator password / password for sudo
