Is folding possible on a Smoothwall box?

Fast420A · 05-12-03, 12:54 AM

Would the Linux client be what I would need to use or is there not a client for this application? I don't have the smoothwall box setup yet so I can't just try it and see plus I know jack about Linux. Thanks.

CaliVW78 · 05-12-03, 03:37 AM

Since smoothwall is linux based, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to run it from a console on the box. Anyone correct me if I am wrong. I have many sessions running on linux but not on Smoothwall specifically. Go download the client here . Then from the directory that you downloaded the client to type in "./FAH3Console-Linux.exe" without the quotes and it will start the client. Enter name, team#, etc and your off and running. Good luck.

As long as it has reasonably up to date kernel and networking gubbinz, yes it will fold. However, as Smoothwall hasnt got a GUI running locally, using Wine and the windows client wont be possible. (The windows client is marginally faster).

I just checked the smoothwall website and it says kernel 2.4.19 so Folding should work just great

Download th Linux client and fold away!!!

I would like to do this but I need (lots of) help.
1) First off, "Linux Console" or "Linux Console B"
2) I want it in /fah
3) I want it to autorun without having to log in as root.
Thanks!

1. Linux B is faster
2. save it to your /home/username then
cd /home/username
mkdir fah
mv /home/username/FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe /home/username/fah

as root:
chown -R username FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe
chmod +x FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe

3. Autostarting it will depend on the internals of Smoothwall. Generally its done by writing a simple shell script and putting that script in an /etc/rc#.d file, but not all distros use that system.

An example startup script would look like this:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/username/fah
./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe -advmethods -forceasm

You could just call it "fold" and stick it in /usr/local/bin.
chmod +x fold
Then you could just type the command "fold" into a terminal to start folding. That's not automatic, but pretty close. And you wouldn't have to be root to run it.

moz_21 · 07-09-03, 01:07 PM

Its based on Redhat Linux. I was in the IRC folding channel and we kind of figured out that smoothwall doesnt support the console "B".

moz_21 · 03-14-04, 10:08 PM

Ok ignore all the older stuff.

(1) Smoothwall has no rc.local to put "foldon" in (from another guide). Is there another file I can put the startup thing?

(2) I get this when I try to run foldon manually:
/usr/local/bin/foldon: line 8: ./FAH4Console.exe: Permission denied

Any help out there?

Kendan · 03-14-04, 10:33 PM

Did you do this:

as root:
chown -R username FAH4Console.exe
chmod +x FAH4Console.exe

Edit: OOps I meant 4 not 3 I changed it now

moz_21 · 03-14-04, 10:55 PM

Ok I got it to run without errors.. but I dont know where/how to set it to run on startup.

Arkaine23 · 03-15-04, 01:46 PM

If there's no rc.local, then there may be /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d. Smoothwall probably boots into runlevel 3 by default.

So you should:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/foldon /etc/rc3.d/S99foldon

Then you should edit you startup script slightly.

#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/folding/directory
su -c "./FAH4Console-Linux.exe -advmethods -forcesse > /dev/null &" username_to_run_as

You can do SETI this way I would think FAH would be the same.
I thought about it but my SW Box is very very slow.

Hope this helps
Good luck

Kendan · 03-15-04, 02:57 PM

moz_21,

When you get it working would you mind writing out the steps in the form of a guide for the folding team page and the FAQ?

all I have is an rc.d folder with rc.firewall.up, rc.firewall.down, and similar files

I'll try to write a guide if I get it workin.

What speed is your smoothwall box?

Mostly People use < 200mhz for a smoothwall.

Right now it is a k6-2 200mhz.. but I am tryin to figure out how to set it all up b/c I want to get possibly a 1ghz+ AMD for my smoothwall and figured then it could fold. Kinda a dual-purpose firewall...
