FWIW boinc_client itself runs fine (I started it - but unfortunately as root) - it is the init.d script which doesn't work.
After I changed this lines, it seems to work now : --exec "${BOINCBIN}" -- --daemon
(In reply to comment #2) > After I changed this lines, it seems to work now : > > --exec "${BOINCBIN}" -- --daemon I get exactly the same problem, but the solution provided is not clear to me. No change to original line in the init.d script: --exec "${BOINCBIN}" ${PARAMS} that looked like the one you give worked for me. In any case, I agree the problem is the init.d script. Debug output: # /etc/init.d/boinc --debug start [...] * Starting BOINC ... + create_work_directory + '[' '!' -d /var/lib/boinc ']' + cuda_check + '[' -f /opt/cuda/lib/libcudart.so ']' + cd /var/lib/boinc + '[' '!' -f lockfile ']' + '[' no = yes ']' + '[' -n Linux ']' + PARAMS='--background --stdout '\''/var/log/boinc.log'\'' --stderr '\''/var/log/boinc.log'\'' -- ' + generate_logs + '[' '!' -f /var/log/boinc.log ']' + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chdir /var/lib/boinc --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/boinc.pid --chuid boinc:boinc --nicelevel 19 --exec /usr/bin/boinc_client --background --stdout ''\''/var/log/boinc.log'\''' --stderr ''\''/var/log/boinc.log'\''' -- + RESULT=0 + eend 0 [ ok ] ++ command -v start_post + '[' '' = start_post ']' + shift + continue 2 + '[' -n '' ']' * start-stop-daemon: unable to open the logfile for stdout `'/var/log/boinc.log'': No such file or directory The old chrt way of doing the init.d script (version 6.10.58-r1) seemed to work fine. Perhaps go back to that?

In any case, I agree the > problem is the init.d script. Debug output: Note the extra "--" to distinguish between parameters for the Gentoo's daemon scripts and the arguments dedicated for boinc_clients's comamnd line.
Another way to solve this is to remove the ' character around ${LOGFILE} in these lines : if [ -n "${RC_UNAME}" ]; then PARAMS="--background --stdout ${LOGFILE} --stderr ${LOGFILE} -- ${ARGS}" else PARAMS="-- ${ARGS} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1" fi
(In reply to comment #5) The fix from Julien works perfectly for me. I figured the quotes were needed in case the log file name included spaces, but mine doesn't (and perhaps that is not what the quotes are there for anyway. Thanks!
(In reply to comment #5) Removing the ' character around ${LOGFILE} seems to be the _right_ fix. Worked for me.
with sci-misc/boinc-6.12.26-r1 I get : n22 ~ # /etc/init.d/boinc stop * Stopping boinc ... Authorization failure: -155 [ !! ]
maybe an empty password should be handled in this way : if [[ -n "${password}" ]]; then su -m ${USER} -c "boinccmd --passwd ${password} --quit" else su -m ${USER} -c "boinccmd --quit" fi eend $? but at least this line is wrong : su -m ${USER} -c "boinccmd --passwd "${password}" --quit" b/c the inner double quotes should be quoted like \", isn't it ?
Should be fixed by -r1.
(In reply to comment #10) > Should be fixed by -r1. NO, I tested sci-misc/boinc-6.12.26-r1
