Unable to start tor service from recent tor-devel port

[Ashish Shukla आशीष शुक्ल]

Hi all,

I'm having this issue with the recently upgraded security/tor-devel
(upgraded to tor-devel-0.2.1.7.a) port. I'm unable to start the tor
service using its rc.d script.

It seems in above rc script, there is a transition to "_tor" uid happens
before the execution and hence this error. Following is the fix to this
issue:

So, can some tell me if this is the good fix. I will submit a PR.

Thanks
