I upgraded my old G4 iMac to 10.5 Leopard to see how things went before possibly installing it on my Power Mac or PowerBook.

If I make BOINC a service with Charlie's script, the daemon will not start and BOINCManager.app will not connect to localhost. If I remove boinc from /Library/StartupItems even without reboot, logout, or even quitting BOINCManager.app then it will run projects.

Does anyone know of a possible solution short of reverting back to 10.4 Tiger?

Are you sure you're using the current version of the Make_BOINC_Service.sh script from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Tools_for_Mac_OS_X? It doesn't put anything in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder; it puts items into the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ directory.

*blushes* No I wasn't using the latest version. I hadn't heard that there was a new one and being the space case that I am (thus my interest in SETI lol) I didn't think to check. Got the new one now, thank you for the link.

*edit* It worked!
