"> I'm running both s@h and CPDN on Boinc. Which project's preferences take
effect if you have different default prefs?
Shoot I know part of this one. Running multiple machines. I'm allowed a home
work and school setting. When calling up a particular machine I'm given the
options of editing which allows setting if it is at home work of shool So
yes Three are allowed at this point. Several may be at work and several may
be at home, etc... As to which takes effect, this, (I'm told by climate
prediction) is rooted in your machine not the server. They are the same for
each project.
How can you have _per_ _machine_ prefs rather than just 'home' and
'work'??
I'm told that keeping the added info on a server is just too massive an
undertaking on their part. Each machine???? That's alot of prefferences.
Imagine 5mil Seti users wiht even 3 machines per user, Who's got the hard
drive space? That's 45 mil pages at three pages per machine. Ouch!!! Yes I
asked the followup question of "If the prefferences are on the individual
machine already why can't they be divided instead of lumped into 3
catagories?" No I haven't gotten an answer to that one yet.:-) Your not to
supposed to ask hard questions for free tech support. :-)
