On Mac OS X (10.6.4) that is set to have a login screen instead of automatically logging into an account, when does the BOINC process start? The situation is that I left home with my iMac running and set up for "Back to my Mac". I have a MacBook Pro and did connect to it one time. The next time I wanted to connect back to it, it was not available in the Finder sidebar. I assumed that there may have been a power failure and the system just rebooted to the login screen not starting the "Back to my Mac" process. However, a few days later I noticed that my work rate average was still climbing as if the iMac was working. Does the BOINC process start before anyone logs into the system? It would appear so.
