This is my .bashrc:
______________________________

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

# Added by Keef 23 July 2006
BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox

It seems to be working, because if I type set at a command line, the BROWSER statement is there.

Is there a separate .bashrc for BOINC, hidden somewhere?

My setup is very similar to MikeMarsUK above, and I've never had the slightest problem (in six or seven years running SETI, with BOINC since it started. I update ZoneAlarm as the new versions appear.

That's on two PCs - one XP Pro, one Windows 2000 Pro (there's also one running Fedora Core 5, but that doesn't have ZoneAlarm on it).

Do you want me to try anything to see if I can "make" it misbehave?

UBT-Halifax-Lad - what's that ugly airline destination board in all your posts? It's most distracting when trying to read a thread.

I've had this problem since forever, and finally decided to fix it.

BROWSER is set, and points correctly to Firefox.
$BROWSER http://boinc.berkeley.edu works perfectly when typed into a shell.

I'm using BOINC 5.4.9 with Fedora Core 5.

What more do I need to do?

I can live with it, but it is annoying that having - as I thought - fixed it...
