Hi, I have a very simple problem, but I don't know how to solve it. I use Bonic Manager to connect my computers remotely. Each name/address is remembered by the software and I have pretty long list now. Can anybody know how I can clear the list of hostnames? I cannot find such option neither in the GUI nor I cannot identify any file in which the data can be stored. |

Assuming you're asking about BOINC running on Windows, the computer names are stored in the Registry, in a MRU (Most Recently Used) list. The list is held at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Manager\ComputerMRU]and can be managed using the Windows utility regedit. Be very careful not to make any unintended changes to other registry keys or values while you're there - indiscriminate editing of the registry can be dangerous. |

Thanks for your reply. I use Linux, so I don't have any registry. Maybe you know how to clear it in Linux version.... |

I don't use remote access, but this sample file is in my Mint Linux: /var/lib/boinc-client/remote_hosts.cfg It contains: # This file contains a list of hostnames or IP addresses (one per line) # of remote hosts, that are allowed to connect and to control the local # BOINC core client via GUI RPCs. # Lines beginning with a # or a ; are treated like comments and will be # ignored. # #host.example.com #192.168.0.180 |

Now you're asking ... There's a hidden file .BOINC Managerin your home folder. That contains the section [ComputerMRU]about 20 lines in. |
