Hello everyone.
I found a forum post stating that in order to change the user for Transmission or any other daemon you must edit /etc/rc.conf.local and add the following `transmission_user="media"` or whichever user you want it to run as. I would like to have transmission run as the media user. When I add the line to /etc/rc.conf.local within the jail it causes the plugin not to start any longer. Also I've tried editing /etc/rc.conf within the jail and adding the line in there but it gets deleted (or overwritten with default rc.conf) I have also tried to edit the /usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/rc.conf file within the jail but that also gets overwritten with the default settings whenever I start the plugin from the FreeNAS plugins manager. I'm really at a loss as to how to get transmission to run as a different user. If someone could please assist me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
