transmission installed as "TimeMachine" user (UID 1000?)

Post by davidroynl »

I have been using transmission for a while, and it is a little unstable in terms of its configuration file and making changes in my experience/opinion, so I revert to command line via SSH to TNAS to perform some efforts like restarting on config changes, reviewing json files, etc.

I was having issues (likely my own causing), but I reinstalled transmission today and now have notices that it is installed as user ID 1000 / TimeMachine and Group ID 1000 / TimeMachine and not the UID/GID typically used for transmission (1006/1006)

Is this an error on the app installer part?

I do not run TimeMachine, but fear that this is a security issue if running both services.

Thanks!

Please use the cmd line to change the UID/GID:
1. sudo usermod -u 1006 transmission
2. sudo groupmod -g 1006 transmission
