If the quasselcore user doesn't exist, the init script will bail out. And the init script uses chuid quasselcore, so it ends up in /var/cache/quassel/.config > 4) The same logic applies to the core crash log dumps, which are written to > $HOME. I suggest setting HOME to the value of datadir in the init script. Same here. If you use the init script, they will end up in /var/cache/quassel I think it is quite obvious, that quasselcore started as user will behave differently then the system quasselcore sevice. > 5) It might be worth thinking of the logrotate.d file for quassel. Depends on the amount of data that is logged, but certainly an interesting idea.
