Permissions Stuff

[exelsus]

Heya all, i have a question, well a couple of them. I have deluge downloading things and putting them in a samba share folder so:

1) How can i change the default permission mask of deluge for files, and folders? I want to make files 664, and folders 775, so users across the network can erase the things they download when they want.

2) How can i set a different group for the deluge daemon? in the daemon .conf says you can type the group after the user with a colon, but when i started it shows this ambiguous thing so i don't know if i'll work well or not:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/deluged start
 * Starting Deluged ...
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: user `deluge:share' not found
 (Success)                                                                [ !! ]
 * Starting Deluge ...                                                    [ ok ]

(the user is deluge, and the group is share, share properly set in /etc/groups)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Might be useful if you post your init script.

Have you set DELUGED_USER in /etc/conf.d/deluged to "deluge:share"?

[exelsus]

Yes i have, just like that...

What about the mask thing, isn't it configurable?

I don't think so but you could add a cron job to set the permissions from time to time

[xaragon]

I have a similar set up, and Deluge's default permissions on files and folders prevent it from downloading files.

I've started two torrents, that are saved to a smbfs drive. Each time I've had to adjust either the folder permissions or the file permissions. It would be best to some how change the default permission for Deluge. I would be grateful for any ideas. The cronjob idea won't work, because the torrents are stopped on an error due to the file/folder permissions. Therefore I would have to initiate a torrent resume in the cronjob also.

Thanks!!
