Guys, I've discovered that, for some strange reason, you *must* have elevated privileges to run / configure BOINC when it's installed via the F10 repositories. I've been trying to get BOINC configured to connect to my accounts ever since I installed the X86_64 version of Fedora 10 several months ago. Today I got a crazy idea and tried running the boincmgr binary as a superuser and to my surprise I was able to connect to the client and configure it, something that I have been trying off and on for the past several months to do without success. Since I never had to run it as a superuser when I installed from the tarball off the Boinc.berkeley.edu server, I suspect this is a RedHat/Fedora issue. Can someone explain the rationale behind requiring admin privileges to configure BOINC? I managed to work around it by "chmod +s" all the Boinc binaries, but I shouldn't have to do that! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
