doc: Elaborate need to re-login on Debian-based after usermod for Tor group #16857

clashicly commented at 4:59 AM on September 12, 2019: contributor

Starting bitcoind with -onlynet=onion immediately after adding bitcoind user to debian-tor group will yield the following notice on debug.log:

"tor: Authentication cookie /run/tor/control.authcookie could not be opened (check permissions)"

Elaborate on the need to re-login to ensure debian-tor group has been applied to bitcoind user after:

sudo usermod -a -G debian-tor username

Verification can be done via groups command in shell. Otherwise operator may not be aware at first launch they are not running a tor enabled node.

Oh, the lint is complaining in travis, please remove whitespace at the end of lines:

/lint-spelling.ignore-words.txt

This diff appears to have added new lines with trailing whitespace.
