If you must mix the stand-alone core client and the BOINC Manager on the same Mac OS X system, be careful of the following:
<ul>
<li>The BOINC Manager installer sets the set_user_id permission bit (S_ISUID) for the BOINC Manager and its embedded core client executable files.
<li>The BOINC Manager installer sets the set_user_id (S_ISUID) and set_group_id (S_ISGID) permission bits for the BOINC Manager and its
embedded core client executable files.
This causes BOINC to always run with the effective user ID set to the installing user. This may cause permission problems if the
stand-alone core client tries to access the same data as a different user.
stand-alone core client tries to access the same data as a different user. See <a href=sandbox_user.php>The Secure BOINC Client</a>
for more information.
<li>By default, the stand-alone core client expects the data to be in the same directory containing the executable. But the BOINC Manager
sets the current directory to \"/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data/\" before launching the embedded core client.
</ul>
If you want BOINC to operate on a separate set of data for each user on a Mac OS X system, then the stand-alone core client may be appropriate.
But to avoid permission problems, make sure that users who have their own core client don't run the BOINC Manager.
