The daemon reports that it starts, but it's not actually started. When I try to start it as a normal user, I get screen messages: at first it asks me to give permission to /dev/pts3, then I have to create /var/run/screen and make it 777. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: /etc/init.d/rtorrentd start Actual Results: Nothing is started. Expected Results: rtorrent daemon is started. I'm using ~amd64 linux.
Maybe the init.d should be removed - it's a pretty horrible kludge anyway.
More info needed, as fresh install on a ~arch system works as needed. I.e. rtorrentd service really starts and report it status. It looks like screen + tmpfilesd problem.

Please upgrade your screen install to (>=app-misc/screen-4.0.3-r6) and report if you still have problems
(In reply to comment #1) > Maybe the init.d should be removed - it's a pretty horrible kludge anyway. Anyway init.d should not be removed as many resources (blogs and wiki) describes this solution. If you want I can make this init better, but it seems it's not very bad currently, at least it works.
Closing this bug as all non-working screen versions have been gone a while. Please do re-open if this issue persists with current screen versions.
