Comment(by cinderblock):
This bug, according to it's title, is about adding a "command" to deluge
to edit it's saved user config file, from within one of the UIs. This
suggestion has two main roadblocks:
This would enable (unless you put in extra infallible checks in) the user
to delete his own access.
By explicitly not allowing the UI to edit it's own config file, it becomes
the owner of the machine's job (often root) to establish and maintain that
list of users in a deluge independent way. In ideal setups, this means
encrypted passwords are only needed so a passing admin doesn't see a
password of one of his or her users.
I'd bet deluge developpers would like to stay away from taking on the task
of security management and thus this implementation will likely stay the
same for a while.
As others have said, if you'd like to have passwords in the config file
stored encrypted, make a new ticket. Each ticket should be about one, and
only one, issue.
