Thanks for the reply. Yes, boinc is running as me, as shown below, and I am |
| 20 |
in the vboxusers group. Boinc is also in that group. All the files and |
| 21 |
directories under ~/boinc and ~/.VirtualBox are owned prh:prh. But I've just |
| 22 |
noticed that the files under ~/.VirtualBox are all 0600; I wonder if that's |
| 23 |
thet problem: that the boinc user can't read them. But then boinc is running |
| 24 |
as me, the owner of all the files involved. |

I'm going round in circles again. |
