Hi everyone. I've been trying to resolve some permissions issues for a while and it's driving me mad. The main problem is that transmission and other plugins (couchpotato, Sickbeard, gamez etc) use different users that execute the processes and thus have different permissions on the files and folders they create, making it impossible to coexist and collaborate:
I also tried to add the additional "media" group to user transmission (so I could play with group permissions instead), but the usermod command does not exist in the jail.
Note: My main (non-jail) user has a UID of 1001 and belongs to the group wheel (like root does) but I added the media group to him as an additional group, to be able to move files around from CIFS.
Could you please help me?
- transmission is executed by user transmission, who belongs to group transmission.
- couchpotato is executed by user media, who belongs to group media.
- /usr/Downloads: Where transmission saves torrents
- /usr/Downloads/Movies: Where couchpotato tells transmission to save torrents (does not work). Also where the couchpotato renamer looks for movie files.
- /usr/Media/Movies: Where the couchpotato renamer is supposed to move files (does not work).
I also tried to add the additional "media" group to user transmission (so I could play with group permissions instead), but the usermod command does not exist in the jail.
