Creating a daemon user for Deluge

[dun]

Currently I have 2 plugins running, Syncthing and Deluge.
Syncthing comes with a built in user with the UID 983. Deluge just uses nobody as user with the UID 65534.
So I thought giving nobody access to my pool wouldn't be the best idea or am I wrong with that assumption?

So I created a new system user with the UID 1001 for Deluge via pw[/code]. I had to chown /var/tmp for this user so I could start the daemon without warnings, but the daemon never actually starts. The deluged.log contains this error: [code] [ERROR ] 16:49:19 rpcserver:378 [('system library', 'fopen', 'Permission denied'), ('BIO routines', 'FILE_CTRL', 'system lib'), ('SSL routines', 'SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file', 'system lib')] [/code] As far as I understand this means that the user can't access the fopen library but how can I give the user permissions to it? I have the feeling that I went the wrong way and that there should be an easier solution to my problem.

Ugh there is no edit function in this forum. Could someone please edit my post?
