All of the work is owned by boinc:nobody. You=20 add something like the following to your /etc/rc.conf ### Bonic - Setiathome parameters boinc_enable=3D"YES" boinc_flags=3D"-allow_remote_gui_rpc -redirectio" If you go to=20 http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/team_display.php?teamid=3D30254 you can see my current credits. They were all generated using that file=20 on several machines. When I have run portupgrade while boinc was=20 running, I may have triggered the message you saw because it tried to=20 down load boinc-setiathome and there isn't a version that it can=20 download. You have to stop it, update it, and start it up again. Kent =2D-=20 Kent Stewart Richland, WA "Nunca te acostar=E1s sin saber una cosa m=E1s" http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
