... when you (re)install a new node.

in particular, make sure your email, team and nickname are all on the command line the FIRST time you invoke ./fadsetup. else the first WU the machine returns will return with the defaults plus whatever you specified on the first invocation

that was how i got pulled from the team a bit ago (forgot the team number) on the first run of fadsetup, and the WU it returned ejected me :scared: ... also, note that if you forget the nickname it defaults to the hostname of the machine.

(so we now have a new sdcfarm04 member on Free-DC... that's one of my nodes). anyone know if you can transfer that nick's points to another if they are registered to the same email address?

if not, no big deal, its just one WU :)

1 WU? Looks like it has uploaded more than that with 31k points.
