The sci-misc/boinc-6.4.5-r1 "attach" initscript function is incorrect. It is currently: $BOINCBIN --chuid ${USER}:${GROUP} --attach_project $url $key &> /dev/null It should be: /usr/bin/boinc_cmd --project_attach $url $key Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Get your project URL and key. 1. Wipe out /var/lib/boinc 2. run /etc/init.d/boinc attach 3. Enter your project URL and key. 4. Tail the BOINC log file... watch as BOINC does nothing, as it's not attached to a project. Expected Results: I would expect BOINC to be correctly attached to a project.

(In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > hm it workie here :( > > > It could be openrc vs baselayout-1 issue... > No - it's the "--chuid" option that's causing the error. I am using boinc-6.4.5-r2 and neither "/usr/bin/boinc_cmd" nor "/usr/bin/boinc_client" do understand such a command line option. Both programs terminate with the error message "Unknown option: --chuid". Just to get boinc off the ground I allowed the user "boinc" to login (replacing "nologin" in boinc's /etc/passwd line) and logged in as boinc. Then I executed the command "boinc_client --attach_project <URL> <my key>" manually. After sucessful attaching to the desired project I stopped the boinc process by issuing Ctrl-C because I don't like to watch long running processes in a terminal window. After logging the user boinc out I issued "/etc/init.d/boinc start" as root and boinc continued where it left off before.
Hmm good idea, i switched to alternative approach for perms on that stuff. I added it to main tree. Please reopen the bug if you still suffer from the bug and sorry for the delays in fixing this stuff...
