boinc: journal flooded with "Authorization required..."

Open StephDC opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Bug description

For every second, the boinc service adds an entry of the following message to the system journal.

<DATE> <HOSTNAME> boinc[<PID>]: Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

This results in a lot of useful logs being prematurely flushed from the journal and heavier wear on the disk.

As a temporary measure, I am using the following override unit to keep my journal working.

[Service]
LogFilterPatterns=~authorization protocol specified

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start boinc by systemctl start boinc
  2. Fire up the journalctl -f to watch your journal being flooded by boinc, one line per second.
