Thank you, I've tried both just now, service tor reload each time. I
guess there is another step for either auth method which I am not
understanding - I'm getting clearer errors now it seems, I guess some
other config was amiss:

with cookie auth:

$ arm -i 127.0.0.1:9051
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/tor/control.authcookie'


with pass auth:

$ arm -i 127.0.0.1:9051
Controller password:
Password found in '/home/me/.arm/armrc' was incorrect


and there is no /home/me/.arm/armrc locally or remotely, and no
/var/run/tor/control.authcookie locally but there is one remote - I
guess I could copy that across to local.

On the hash password front, I read the man page again, and got that to work.


Thank you again, one auth method is fine,
