That makes sense. I used this post to add the repository and install BTSync ... http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18974-debian-and-ubuntu-server-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/ So, I installed and configured BTSync using sudo or "root". Seems like the package/installation, from the link above, setup my BTSync configuration to auto-start when the computer loads (probably as root because I used that to install it). Do you know of a configuration file, and where it is located, that I could manually go in and change the user id that starts BTSync? Or do you recommend doing a apt-get remove and installing it again without sudo?
