running boinc on Centos 5.x server with command line only with daemon starting on boot

I want to install BOINC on a client and connect it to my WCG account, I plan on running these commands on a public facing server. Anybody can correct my chunk of commands below to ensure it is secure?


cd /home
yum update
yum upgrade
wget http://boincdl3.ssl.berkeley.edu/mirror/boinc_6.10.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
sh boinc_6.10.17_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
./boinc --daemon
./boinccmd --project_attach http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org 4c3b5b1b971d8f3505ba2c0961f61af0
cd /etc/init.d/
wget http://www.spy-hill.com/~myers/help/boinc/init.d/boinc
chmod +x /etc/init.d/boinc
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc0.d/K03boinc
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc1.d/K03boinc 
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc2.d/S98boinc 
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc3.d/S98boinc 
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc4.d/S98boinc 
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc5.d/S98boinc 
ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rc6.d/K03boinc
nano boinc

FINALLY - edit boinc and start boinc as "root" not user boinc, and fix path to read /home/BOINC

i've done this already and i experimented with running BOINC under its own user account, but for whatever reason it wasn't working. Got frustrated and gave up.

Suggestions welcome -

Re: running boinc on Centos 5.x server with command line only with daemon starting on boot

Hi,

There's very little that google (my best friend, which bing is not) is willing to hand over on Centos 5 + BOINC. The only little comment is that it's Red Hat based in the below wiki page, discussing manually starting/stopping the daemon.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Stop_or_start_BOINC_daemon_after_boot

Centos gets barely a mention on our forums, so not much ready help there. Maybe an experienced member with this distro is willing to pitch in.

edit: On Red Hat, here's the more frequently referred to installation guide by Eric Meyers, an expert on BOINC too. Maybe there's something in it for you
