Package: transmission-daemon
Version: 2.92-2+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Hey!
The new rpc-host-whitelist setting does not persist accross restart.
Transmission likes to rewrite its configuration file. When it happens
(on stop notably), the rpc-host-whitelist is written with an empty value
instead of the configured value.
To reproduce:
- put a value for rpc-host-whitelist
- stop transmission-daemon
- check the value has disappeared

yes that's how it's meant to be: the settings file is only read at
startup and overwritten when the daemon stops with the in-memory
settings, which can be set from the daemon.

doing it now, thanks
