I installed boinc 6.10.21 on my OS X 10.5 in order to upgrade from a 6.6 version that I was running today, and I am the admin user, and I was logged in as the admin user. As I was installing 6.10.21 I was asked if non admin users should be allowed to use Boinc, and I said 'yes' to this. Then when I tried to open Boinc I got a message like the following: "You currently are not authorized to manage the client. Either re-install and allow non-admin users or contact your administrator to add you to the 'boinc_master' user group."

So I tried to reinstall first, and I was not asked if non admin users should be allowed to use Boinc.. so I retried a few times and got no different result..

So I downloaded 6.10.43 and installed that, and again I was not asked if non admin users should be allowed to use boinc.. and when I tried to run Boinc I got the same message like: "You currently are not authorized to manage the client. Either re-install and allow non-admin users or contact your administrator to add you to the 'boinc_master' user group."

So I did a Google search trying to figure out how to add my admin user to the bonic_master user group and found this which suggested I run the following in terminal:

"sudo dscl . -append /Groups/boinc_master GroupMembership <your user's short name> CR"

So I did this and now I get the following error:

BOINC ownership or permissions are not set properly; please reinstall BOINC (Error code -1200)

So I reinstall and I am ever asked the question about allowing non admin users again, and I still get this error message every after every reinstall attempt..

What should I do?..
