• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The Anti-Fold Server

I seem to be having a recurring problem. Every so often one or more of my machines will reset the userid to s. So about once a month or so, I have to do a audit and run cfgfold to make sure that the correct info is in the machines. Is there someplace I can make this more permanent or is it a bug?

What does /etc/foldconfig look like? It should have "USER=seapirate" in it (on the first line unless I miss my guess) (cat /etc/foldconfig to see the contents). What version of foldix are we talking here? The latest one has a few improvements - Prime95 and Memtest for stability testing, mostly.

The fact that running cfgfold fixes things seems to indicate to me that something is rewriting the foldconfig file. I haven't had this problem, and nothing else is supposed to change that file, so it's hard for me to figure out what it could be.

 
I am running the 0.9 version on all machines, but it has been a problem before. If something happens and the machine reboots they the settings are change back to the default. I have one new machine I added that has not done this yet, but the other 4 older ones do it.

 
I think this was just a problem in 0.9; there's a later version up.

Upgrading is going to be in 1.0 (I think :-/ ) so for now run "/etc/fold stop" and then "/etc/fold oneunit". That'll finish the current unit, and then you can turn them off and upgrade.

I can write out directions on how to upgrade if you like. You have but to ask.
