Hi everyone,

I am trying to run Sabnzbd as a different user. So far I have found this topic: https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?p=62589#p62589

What is interesting though, is that I did not have any file from Sabnzbd in etc/default/.

So I created /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and inserted:

Code: Select all

USER=Testuser

This did not work (after a reboot). Still Sabnzbd as user for the process. So I inserted:

Code: Select all

SABNZBD_USER=Testuser

Which also did not work. Last try was:

Code: Select all

SABNZBDPLUS_USER=Testuser

Still no luck. Is there anything left I could try?
Thank you so much for your answers!

Cheers,
Philz90

How did you install sabnzbd? The debian packages for the program do come with an init.d script and a corresponding config file in /etc/default/, where one can set the username for the service. That setting is empty by default though and no account for this purpose is created on install either.
