tor issues missleading permission warning when torrc overrides User config directive of default torrc

Tor issues the follwoing warn loglevel entry when it starts even though permissions are fine (drwx------):

[warn] Fixing permissions on directory <datadir>

this occurs only if the torrc overrides the default-torrc's User parameter besides this warn loglevel tor runs fine nonetheless.

warning is issued with:

tor --runasdaemon 0 --defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/defaults-torrc -f torrc 

no warning with:

tor --runasdaemon 0 -f torrc 

both (defaults-torrc and torrc) specify a User config parameter.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
