My bad, I checked again and used the id command to find out the values for all users. There's only one user: root.
So, as per the readme, I used createuser.sh to create a new user account (it says it's for rutorrent but it's only thing related to this is the readme). I then checked the users again with "id" and still only the root user appears.
So... you told me before not to use useradd, and the script is not for this purpose, how do I create a user to run irssi from?
Actually got the list of users with
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
root
bin
daemon
mail
ftp
http
nobody
dbus
systemd-journal-remote
systemd-network
systemd-resolve
systemd-timesync
systemd-coredump
uuidd
privoxy
git
aurbuild
Do I just pick one of these, for example privoxy, even though they don't seem like users for this purpose?
Also, since I deleted perms.txt to reset permissions rutorrent is no longer able to add torrents because of lack of permissions.
