Make sure you have the newest version of the port (for setiathome-1.1). Pre-1.1 version don't work anymore. Unfortunatly, the release of 1.1 came too late for the 3.2 CDs. Even more unfortunate is the fact that all versions (including 1.1) try to send mail by invoking /usr/lib/sendmail... I guess I'll be changing the port quite rapidly for the next few days as next version comes out, which is supposed to fix the sendmail as well as the proxy problem. > One thing I've been meaning to look at though is that it seems to run it > at niceness 1, which isn't exactly friendly to the other consumers of > CPU. You should be able to tweak it easily, though. Would you suggest a different default nice level, then, and what should it be? One can easily modifiy ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh to run it with -nice 100, and I'm open to making a level other that 1 the default.
