- The project specific client is downloaded and updated from a central website. This COULD be a malicious software communicating private information back to the central base.
- Can the client be tricked using DNS poisoning to download an update from a malicious website and run a compromised client?

I must say I am quite impressed that a certain Exchange email server achieved 100% uptime even two years after the last maintenance performed on it :)
====Plan going forward====
Since we are living in the world of virtualization I intend to prepackage the client in a virtual appliance that can be used as a "filler" on any server/Hypervisor that is undergoing stress testing or is just sitting idle for no apparent reason. SETI@Home can make an ideal testing load for CPU if configured properly.
====Questions and fears====
- How do you know you are really processing SETI data? Maybe you are helping the US government process encrypted data. After all Arecibo IS a military site that had military intelligence uses, for example in locating Soviet radar installations by detecting their signals bouncing back off the Moon (according to Wikipedia).
- Running the client on a production server might not be the brightest idea since the client might crash your server. However experience is showing that the client is reliable and the client can run with an unprivileged account.
