Description James Hogarth 2012-05-20 00:53:17 UTC

Description of problem:
The systemd configuration file is calling transmission-daemon with options that prevent authentication from working for the RPC interface.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.50

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install transmission-daemon
2. Start it once to auto-generate the configuration files.
3. Stop transmission-daemon
4. Enable the rpc authentication options
5. Start transmission-daemon 
  
Actual results:
The config file is overridden and the authentication to the rpc interface is disabled - accessing it from a browser allows access with no prompt for credentials.

Expected results:
To be prompted for credentials to access the web based RPC interface.

Additional info:
Removing the '-T' argument from the exec line in the systemd configuration file allows the settings.json to take effect and the expected behaviour to happen.
