Hello !

I'm running BOINC version 6.4.5 on a headless Debian Etch box.
I have the following problem :
BOINC is filling up my /tmp partition (tmpfs ramdisk) by putting files in /tmp/projects, even if I ask boinc to use another directory to store its data ( "-dir /var/somehting" ).

Why is BOINC still using /tmp ? Is there an elegant way to force BOINC to use the correct directory (I mean beside the obvious brute method of symlinking /tmp/project to the correct path ?)

Thank you very much.
