Multi-user privacy

Post by fubarbundy »

I've been using the 0.5 series of Deluge for a while and have just upgraded to the 1.0 series. Everything is great, except for the fact that because of the daemon setup it seems to no longer be capable of proper, private multi-user operation.

From what I can tell:

* when deluge starts, it checks for the existence of a deluged process. If it exists, it connects to it, inheriting the config and torrents of the user who started deluged.
* if it doesn't exist, it spawns deluged with the current user's config.

This means that users can no longer have a completely private collection of torrents to download, as the torrents of whoever started the daemon are visible to everyone, and other users can then only add to this list.

Is there a way around this? Ideally, a way to have the daemon only allow local connections from processes with the same user that started the daemon.
