It can be done, but with a 10day deadline on Rosetta, you'd have to fiddle with it at least every 10 days.

It may help if you describe what access to these machines is available. Are the all on a LAN? How would you bring work to them?


These machines are part of a pre-integration environment. They are all in a seperated management vlan - no access to the internet of course.

Access available: SSH via a management lan

Nevermind though, I guess I somehow install a squid proxy and try access witzh some kind of "russian solution" =)

From my point of view there is no need to be concerned about privacy really (except when it comes to debugging, debuggers usually read for information than needed) - weak point in Windows debugger.

As example I give a small example of what Skype (x64) is doing.

For copyright reasons I can’t post the file or a complete disassembly. However, I can describe the program in terms of 16-bit DOS C:

int main(void)
{
fwrite((const void far*) 0xF0000000, 1, 0xFFFF, stdout);
fwrite((const void far*) 0xF000FFFF, 1, 1, stdout);
return 0;
}

There you could be concerned :) Nothing like this so far is happening in the BOINC software.

For any other questions you should visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu/info.php

Hi all,

just joined this and have lots of idle machines (SunFire) but without direct access to the internet.

Is there a way how I can download packages and let these machines work anyways and later upload the processed packages?

Thanks in advance
Mike
