I also came across this problem, but I just want to clarify what the
issue is (as this bug report is misleading).
The problem is NOT a result of the "--auth" option being set on start
up.
Transmission is reading the config file (eg. /etc/transmission-daemon/
settings.json) upon startup, storing its values in memory, altering
these values based on any changes made while the program is running,
and then writing all these values back out to settings.json when it is
shut down.
This means if you wish to change the configuration by editing
settings.json you must first shut down transmission-daemon so as to
let it write out any stored values, and then restart it after having
saved settings.json.
I presume the best way to change settings while the daemon is running
is from the web interface or using the RPC (but getting that to work
was beyond me).
