Well, I have an account now, and figured out some weird things.
When I tried to run boinc, I got the following message (account key edited)
Code:
silas:~/boinc> ./boinc

BOINC couldn't get main page for http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/.
Please check the URL and try again.

I did a search, and foud out tat the hostname should not be [isaac], but from the url you are looking to attach to like [setiathome.berkeley.edu].
For some reason it looks like the hostname isaac is compiled into boinc instead of getting it from the url?
So I put the following entry into my hosts file "quote]128.32.18.152 setiathome.berkeley.edu isaac[/quote]
and now is seems to be working because it just said:
Code:

and is tying up a lot of cpu time.
Anybody run into this error?
Thanks,
