You just fire up the client process as a daemon/service on each machine
Thanks for the help.

starting boinc_client on second computer does not work.

hum, may be i have a more basic problem. On the second computer, i have the following error.
$ cd /var/lib/boinc
$ boinc_client
Another instance of BOINC is running

here are the steps
a) on the first computer under fedora 9 distribution, i have install package
boinc-client-6.2.15-1.20080818svn.fc9.i386
boinc-manager-6.2.15-1.20080818svn.fc9.i386
easy instruction steps being missing for setup on linux, i endup searching around for help at
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
after which using instruction in paragraph, Optional setup hints.
At that point the file /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg was available for making the symbolic link(ln -s).
Using boincmgr utility, I succeed to attach to climatprediction and it started computing first

b) on second computer, still under fedora 9 distribution, i have install package
boinc-client-6.2.15-1.20080818svn.fc9.i386
boinc-manager-6.2.15-1.20080818svn.fc9.i386
using http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux
under paragraph, Optional setup hints

step 7 and step 8 can not be done, cause the file
/var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg is not created by any of the previous packages.
That is, boinc-client and boinc-manager.

question,
should the file had being install ?
how to create that file ?

remember that following command return with error on the second computer
$ boinc_client
Another instance of BOINC is running

LAN configuration is a gateway computer with one IP address, other computers are using 192.168.x.x, means they are using NAT(Network Address Translation mechanism).

Presently one local computer(tiger is 192.168.0.13) is running boincmgr, boinc_client and one project(hadcm3trans_um).

Is it possible to start another boinc_client on another computer on the LAN, let says saturn is 192.169.0.10, using same account that will run another instance of hadcm3trans_um ?

Both local computers, that is tiger and saturn, have an user called gilles.
