	Hi all, I've got several linux boxes running the command line version of boinc/seti. I usually ssh into them, cd to the machine's dedicated dir and do any admin using the boinc_cmd tool. All that's fine but I'd like to do this without having to ssh. So I tried the line: ./boinc_cmd --host <host name or IP address> --passwd <strong key> --get_state but I get the following error. connect: Connection refused can't connect to <host name> Do I have to open ports or some such? Is there an alternative that I haven't thought of? Thanks in advance, Padraig PS: Sorry if this was covered already, but can't find it.

	I'm not quite sure, but perhaps the remote controlling mechanism with gui_rpc_auth.cfg and remote_hosts.cfg is used here too. See Controlling BOINC remotely in the BOINC wiki.

	On the Client machines have you set --allow_remote_gui_rpc? Or are you using .cfg files to control the lists of hosts that can connect remotely?

	It's easy when you know how! Thanks guys, that web page is what I was looking for. Problem solved. Added the remote_host.cfg, restarted and presto.
