Details

Description: Lack of configuration makes transmissiond daemon not to start as TRANS_USER as intended. It does not uses TRANS_USER's configuration files. When I started transmissiond using "/etc/rc.d/transmissiond start" it started the process as my TRANS_USER but it did not allowed me to see the web interface (error 403).


Installed packages:
transmission-cli 2.03-1
transmission-gtk 2.03-1

Attached file:
modified /etc/conf.d/transmissiond

Solved adding:
TRANS_ARGS="-g /home/$TRANS_USER/.config/transmission"

I suggest to add such arguments directly in the /etc/rc.d/transmissiond script with a warning when TRANS_USER is not set or does not exist and a post installation message to inform we need to set such variable.

Also noticed that when the TRANS_ARGS are incorrectly set, the script shows the daemons help output and reports as DONE also.

i don't want to add this config by default because i'm supposed to add a transmission user. i could just add an example like fedora has

# TRANSMISSION_HOME=/home/foo
# DAEMON_USER="foo"
# DAEMON_ARGS="-T --blocklist -g $TRANSMISSION_HOME/.config/transmission-daemon"
