Re: [boinc_dev] Environment variables : suggestions
Nicolás Alvarez wrote, On 22.02.11 04:19: Huh? Linux passes environment variables to setuid-root processes too. [...] The security comes from the fact that LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD are ignored by the dynamic loader (regardless of who set them) if the binary has the setuid or setgid bits on. Thanks for the clarification. I remember hving seen some code that filters the environment for variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH, possibly in BSD Unix, maybe pretty old. Anyway, the point remains that passing LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to setuid root programs on Mac OS X doesn't have the desired effect, and this is not a bug, but an intentional security feature of the OS.

Re: [boinc_dev] Linux driver detection
The NVIDIA Linux drivers don't return driver version for some reason. But they return CUDA version, which is the important part anyway. -- David On 22-Feb-2011 4:34 AM, Bernd Machenschalk wrote: Hi! It looks like the NVidia driver version detection in the BOINC doesn't work at least for the new Linux Beta driver version 270 from NVidia. (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=8761#110707) Is this limited to certain versions of the BOINC Core Client, and is there something (workaround?) a project could do about this?
