That's not enough for torify (torification? to use torsocks / the SOCKS5
of tor) of applications. As I told you earlier, you need a SOCKSPort,
like so:

(services (cons*
            (tor-service
              (plain-file "torrc"
"SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050\n"))))

This can be extended any other values you can find in "man torrc" as
long as you end the lines with "\n".
 
The (tor-service) is mostly just usable for offering onion services, and
we should document that the default is to leave it up to the person
using the system to
configure more behavior.
