Changing user on Synology?

Post by memmo »

I'm wondering how I can get SAB to run as a different user on my Synology NAS.

I believe I was having some issues related to permissions and read a post on the Sickbeard forums saying that making SAB and SB run as the same user might help.

I created a new user within DSM, but can't figure out how to get SAB to run under that user.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a strange way to circumvent permission problems.

If you want to proceed anyway: is there a file /etc/default/sabnzbdplus ... ? If so, is there a line USER = ?
