I have boinc in its own partition, which I mount at /home/prh/boinc. If /etc/conf.d/boinc has user:group set to boinc:boinc and all the files under /home/prh/boinc have owner:group prh:prh, boinc appears to start but crashes a short time later. Or if /etc/conf.d/boinc has user:group set to prh:prh and all the files under /home/prh/boinc have owner:group boinc:boinc, the same happens. Only if /etc/conf.d/boinc and /home/prh/boinc/* ownership agree does boinc run. Two machines show the same behaviour; one is amd64, the other ~amd64.
I should have added that needing correct ownership of files is no surprise; I was reporting that the check for this in the create_work_directory function in /etc/init.d/boinc doesn't catch the error if the files exist already.
Sorry for the long wait, RL got me really busy in the past months. I'll check that in the next few days!
I am switching to 'GLEP 81' with the next bump. This should already help with such situations.
