Yes! ls -al /var/log/tor/ -> -rw-r----- 1 debian-tor debian-tor 20742 Mär 15 16:46 notices.log

| Mar 15, 2016 at 16:49 | comment | added | joan | The d indicates a directory. Are all the files in that directory owned by debian-tor? | |

ls -al /var/log/tor drwxrws--- 2 debian-tor debian-tor 4096 Mär 15 06:25 tor

| Mar 15, 2016 at 16:44 | comment | added | joan | That shows the owner as debian-tor. So you'll need to ensure that any files written by tor are owned by debian-tor or have debiab-tor as a group member with write permission. | |
