Is the new LLRNet client compatible with the old LLRNet server? Then anyone can use the new client to connect to server and crunch away!

yes, it is. there were only some changes in the client to run with the script and the new LLR V3.8.0!

so installing the new client and configure it for the project will work fine.
and if not post here/there or PM me.

The old LLRNet client was hard-wired to crunch only base-2. So I had to modify it to accept other bases. Is that the case for new client also?

that's not true, i think!

the only change to handle other bases than 2 is to edit a line in the llr-serverconfig.txt (the server-side):

displayFormat = "%s*5^%s-1"

this is the format the server will save the results in "results.txt"!

the client get a pair from the server with the worktype (Riesel or Sierpinski and base) and saves it in "workfile.txt" like:

43228319159:M:1:5:258
12345 67890

try it locally!

try it here.

only the WIN-DOS-script version (3rd link) contains the server with a small example, too.

change the above line in llr-serverconfig.txt and put your knpairs.txt in the server-folder.

run 'do' in the client-folder and all is working fine!

That server was started at a time when there was nothing else available then llr3.5.

For the old llrnet client you have to use a patched version. The problem is that somewhere in the code is a check that refuses to run tests with a base different to "base 2". So for the old llrnet client you had to remove this one line of code and recompile it. For the server side you are right there it is only a modification in the config.

I use the llrnet.exe (WIN) size: 6.425.088 bytes (date 2005-04-27).
I also saw a version with 3.364.950 bytes from 2006-08-18!

I had not tried the smaller one with the script, i'll do this later today and tell the results here!

which version do you use? have you ever tried the other EXE? or do you use the LINUX-version?

[kar_bon]

the smaller WIN-version of llrnet.exe works fine with base 3 for example, too!
i only adjusted the line in llr-serverconfig.txt.

@ltd: do you know, which line you have to edit to work with base 5?

[ltd]

Check the file llr2.c.

In the not working version you will find the following code:

  if (base != 2) { 
    //printf("%d %d %d\n", chainlen, base, mask);
    OutputStr ("Only base 2 is supported, use PRP for other bases.\n"); 
    return -1;
  }

My version of llr2.c is from 2005-01-25 and the code is in line 434ff.

So if your exe works with base 3 it is an already patched version.
