Machine has been processing 24/7 without a single hickup until:
We are at the trikle sent 183634 TS into phase 2
Here trouble begins:
2004-12-25 22:16:21 [climateprediction.net] Couldn't read master page for climateprediction.net: error -113
2004-12-25 22:16:21 [climateprediction.net] Master file fetch failed

2004-12-25 22:36:09 [---] GUI RPC request from non-allowed address 32.255.71.0
this goes on at 1 sec. intervals until machines just gives up and crashes. Last lifesign:
2004-12-25 22:37:38 [---] GUI RPC request from non-allowed address 32.255.71.0
That's it Folks.
Of course address 32.255.71.0 is NOT Traceable!
This is not the first experiment that gets trashed this way.

Seems that BOINC Client has a serious security problem.

Until this is sorted out I am reverting back to CPDN Classic.

Thank You for the link. This has now been added to my Favourites List :)

However, to track the person that does the actual hacking is not detectable that easy.

I have now filed a claim against the person who used the IP Address at the time the machine crashed.
Very interesting, the IP is in UK??

Tanks again for the Link and a Merry Christmas to You from Denmark and

ChrisD

Of course this wish goes to all participants :)
