That works, thank you. I didn't know I could use one machine to manage another, but now I seem to be getting downloads to work on.

Unfortunately, I've been a seti@home user for much longer than BAM, and by the time I found that my username had been taken. Without giving up my original user name, not sure that there is a solution for that.

Anyway, as it did last time I tried, that attach command appeared to complete successfully. However, my project status continues to appear as though the machine is not doing anything. I'm wondering if by trying to attach to both projects and manager, whether something is messed up. Getting project status gives me this:

======== Projects ========
1) -----------
name:
master URL: http://www.climateprediction.net/
user_name:
team_name:
resource share: 100.000000
user_total_credit: 0.000000
user_expavg_credit: 0.000000
host_total_credit: 0.000000
host_expavg_credit: 0.000000
nrpc_failures: 9
master_fetch_failures: 0
master fetch pending: no
scheduler RPC pending: no
attached via Account Manager: no
ended: no
suspended via GUI: no
don't request more work: no
disk usage: 0.000000
last RPC: 1283516769.938848
project files downloaded: 0.000000

So if it isn't attached via Account Manager, that may be the problem. How do I get all the attachments straightened out? At this point is it best to delete the whole boinc directory and start over?

Yes, been there, done that. I'm missing something, because although I ran the attach to project stuff and attach to project manager stuff, I'm still not doing any work on that machine.

Perhaps the problem is "Which url?" "Which password?" I have a user name on bam that is different from the one on seti@home, although the passwords are the same. What controls what?

lookup account for rosetta gives me unhelpful info like

poll status: no database rows found in lookup/enumerate

What does that mean? I'm guessing something like "no account found" even though I can log into the rosetta site using exactly the username and passwork I provided to boinccmd.

I don't have access to a gui on my linux box, and am stumped on how to get boinc to start doing any work.

The daemon is loaded and running. I use BAM as my project manager, and have managed to attach to that, this machine shows up as one of my hosts. I ran an attach to project for climateprediction and rosetta@home, and when I run a get_status those projects show up. However, they have not downloaded any work and my name, user name, and team name are all blank.

I have other boxes running these same projects, but those have been set up for a long time (meaning I have forgotten what tricks, if any, I needed) and I have a gui on those machines.

Can anybody point me to a "cookbook method" for getting up and running? I've read lots of pages about boinccmd commands, but haven't been able to put it all together.
