Hello,

why does the malariacontrol boinc client try (at least on some of the work units) to access /home ?

Example:
setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /var/lib/boinc/projects/malariacontrol.net/openMalariaB_6.45_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu "search" access on /home.

# strings openMalariaB_6.45_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu | grep home
/home/gouigoui/devel/read_only_om/lib:/home/gouigoui/devel/read_only_om/build/xsdcxx

No, I will not grant this access (least of all because the path will not lead anywhere). boinc lives completely in /var/lib/boinc and should not try to read files outside of that path.

This looks like a leftover on the development side and is spamming my logs (apart from that the malariacontrol client in boinc seems to work well)

You're right this is a leftover our side. This will be corrected on the application's version 6.46 that we should launch on openMalaria B branch this week.

Thank you for your feedback

The application has been updated on OpenMalaria B. Please let us know if you are experiencing this problem again.
