[SETI] Anyone using Crunch3rs SSE3 optimised Linux apps?

I'm getting quite a few results reporting no consensus on one of my Core2 Linux boxes. Is anyone else seeing these?

So far, I've had a few of these subsequently validate OK, but just want to make sure I'm not returning duff results. :confused:

Can you give me the URL for the 'FIXED' version please. That's clearly what I'm missing. Thanks.

Edit - no matter - found here.

Let's see if that helps.

Oops - I'm running boinc as a boot-up task, and therefore as root.

If you do that, this 'FIXED' version likes to take over your system by elevating it's priority. Had to 'sudo' boinc to a non-privileged user to put a stop to that.

Anyone else who uses their Linux PCs for real stuff, beware.

Yeah, that works, but using a non-privileged account prevents the clients from elevating in the first place, so you don't need a cron job. It's also more secure.

If you start boinc from an init script, all you need is:

Code:

cd <path-to-boinc>; sudo -u <user> boinc -daemon

(after setting the right permissions on the boinc directory, of course).
