One of my teammates is reporting:

"Having a heck of a time getting any work on the machines I added here, they request new tasks and event log just says the request was completed, got 0 new tasks. No error, no out of work, just nothing. Machines that were attached several weeks ago seem to work fine."

What's going on?

We didn't change anything recently. We still have the issue of the work generator not being able to make enough workunits to satisfy user's requests, so sometime there is no work available. Anyway, you may check the newest attached computers (hostid >= 19874) and see that they were able to download some work.

If you give me the hostid of one of the computers you are talking about I may check the server log and see if there is something strange.

[edit] looking at the scheduler log I found a lot of lines like
Bad authenticator '1140_42646555bcaff2fadd
I really don't know what it is....

... But looking at the server source code (handle_request.cpp) I noticed that this is something related with the 'weak authentication key' (the one used by the gridcoin pools, I guess....)

Hi,

The weak key you see in the log is not from the pool. You can use the first part of the weak key as the userid to determine the owner. Therefore:

Thanks,

Brian...
