Okay, here's how you do it people. From a machine that you have logged into, copy the following files to the directory you're running BOINC out of on the destination system:
When you start the client up on that system, it will attempt to log in using those details. The signing key will fail, as I guess this is against the systems hostname or something, but it just seems to get re-signed, and logs in successfully. The new system will now appear in your 'my computers' tab in the GR control panel.
How much I advise this I don't know... there's not much point having an account if you don't control it yourself (after all, your account and your credits could just be taken from you at any moment, you don't know your password so tough) ... it may just be better to get your own account if the situation really is that your account obtained through the facebook app isn't really your own account.
Anybody know how to retrieve your password that gets assigned? The "I forgot my password" link doesn't work as password gets sent to assigned email address (in my case, gr43205@gridrepublic.org) ... I have various Linux servers with a lot more power than my laptop I wish to connect to my account, but they require the account password, which for all I can tell, is being withheld from us.
Is this /actually/ the situation? That there is no way for us to tell our own passwords? If so, who do I hit really hard for making such a stupid decision, completely against the spirit of this whole open project, until the situation changes? Or do I just have to create a new account myself and advise others to do the same?
