+**** To enable start/stop of the seti@home client, please run "setiathome"
+ as your login name.
+ If you installed "setiathome" by ports or package, add, change or
+ uncomment the seti_user variable in %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/rc.setiathome.conf
+ (or %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/setiathome.conf depending on the version currently
+ installed on your computer)
+ seti_user=nobody
+ ^^^^^^
+ to your login name before setting up working directory, such as :
+ seti_user=<your_login_name>
+ If you already done this as nobody, do
+ %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh stop
+ chown -Rh <your_login_name> /var/db/setiathome
+ %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh start
+**** Known Bugs
+ For instance, default values have to be set manually using the panel
+ preferences (right-click):
+ set the value of "Basic->Directory containing the seti@home executable"
+ to /var/db/setiathome
+ check "Advanced->Use seti@home exe in a different directory"
+ and set it's value to %%LOCALBASE%%/sbin
+ Also, running xsetiathome by double-clicking the radar icon isn't
+ possible right now.
