arm simply assumes it is connecting to a local tor instance (which is not necessarily always the case)

It looks like arm simply assumes to connect to a local tor instance:

  • the hostname and kernel version displayed in arm's interface is not from the relay (it is from localhost).

The following warnings are also caused by this assumption:

[ARM_WARN] The torrc differs from what tor's using. You can issue a sighup to reload the torrc values by pressing x.
   - torrc values differ
[ARM_WARN] Unable to read tor's log file: /var/log/tor/log on lines: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Maybe arm could try to detect if it is connecting to a local tor instance by comparing the IP from the '-i' parameter with locally configured IP adresses? An alternative method and probably easier and more reliable: If the pid (gathered via 'GETINFO process/pid') does not match one of the pids returned by 'pidof tor' it is probably not a local tor instance.

What do you think?
