Product Description:

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

What's new in this version:

Version 3.08 is a precautionary security release. There was a potential buffer overrun in the networking code of the client that is fixed with version 3.08. Note that to exploit this vulnerability, a potential attacker would have to trick the client into contacting a fake server rather than the actual SETI@home server. To our knowledge, no SETI@home client has ever been attacked in this manner.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2
Mac OS X 10.1

SETI@home won't work - Version: 3.08, 3/21/2004 01:50PM PST

First.
I have been a member of SETI for years, I have completed 1053 units on three successive Macs. I recently switched from a G4 iMac to a G4 iBook and loaded SETI 3.0.8 on the new machine. The program will run but it will not start from a hot corner nor will it start after a specified time. It will only start if I double-click the SETI icon. It will run, thus started, but when I quit the program it promptly forgets all the work it has done.

I am running an iBook G4, 800MHZ, combo drive, 640 MEG RAM. I use Mac OS 10.3.3. SETI ran perfectly on my previous machine, an iMac 800 with 1gig RAM and Mac OS 10.3.2. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a fix?

Second.

My present email address is <uncleclyde@earthlink.net>, previously I completed perhaps 250 units as <UncleClyde@aol.com>. Is it possible for you to add those early units to my present total?
