Am I missing something here? It looks like you're trying to run the windows 
version of seti at home under linux.

You'd be much farther ahead getting a unix client and then just use the same 
login info that you used for your windows client so all the credit goes to 
the same place.

If I've misunderstood what you're trying to do, ask again :)

Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design.  Unlike most
automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the
numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver.  Rather, if the
driver makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the
dashboard.  "The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know
what's wrong."
