With TerminalService, two UD agents can be excute on one PC in a same time. So, percial result data file will be sheared by two agents and it cause problem on sending rusult to the server.
UD agent should refuse accese from other prosess when opening data file.
Hiya, Here is what we know as of now. (Please note cheating is defnatly uncomon in our team! A member of our team just post this sad news on our (team 2ch)BBS.
With running UD agent on Win2K Server's Terminal Service, user can make UD agent send uncompleted results to the UD server. It is shame that some UD members are cheating the project with this bug.
Detail: With TerminalService, two UD agents can be excute on one PC in a same time. So, percial result data file will be sheared by two agents and it cause problem on sending rusult to the server.
Please note that by manipulating the Agent to incorrectly submit workunits is not providing any benefit in points at all. Even though they are achieving a large number of completed workunits, the number of points being awarded for each one is very small. In fact, they are likely getting fewer total points than they would if they allowed their Agent to complete workunits normally.
Doing this type of behavior is highly discouraged. Not only are you getting fewer points, but you are also wasting the bandwidth that United Devices pays for. Worst of all, you are not contributing any productive work towards the scientific research being done.
