The following reply was made to PR ports/113335; it has been noted by GNATS. From: dfilter@FreeBSD.ORG (dfilter service) To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/113335: commit references a PR Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2007 05:45:47 +0000 (UTC) edwin 2007-09-23 05:45:41 UTC FreeBSD ports repository Modified files: biology/linux-foldingathome Makefile distinfo biology/linux-foldingathome/scripts FoldingAtHome Log: biology/linux-foldingathome needs to run as root? (also: update to 5.0.4) Upon installing FoldingAtHome I ran the software from a user account only to find that I was stuck in a loop of trying to enter configuration options. Shortly thereafter I realized that it was trying to write to /usr/local/share/foldingathome, and therefore requires being run as root to write there unless one changes permissions there. Seing as this isn't installed with a startup script for daemonization, and running as root seems a little excessive for this application, should this be adapted to run from a user account or set up to be able to start at boot? And from maintainer: This diff updates the port to version 5.04, and adds support to running as normal user using ~/.fah directory.
