Please be sure that if you set a password the order of this option must be
put before any command, this can be found on the boinccmd(1)
  «Notice that the order of the options is important. The --host and --passwd
   options must precede any command.»

I tried to reproduce this bug on 4 boxes, I was able to pass commands
using boinccmd without any password set on gui_rpc_auth.cfg

If I set a password I could connect properly if the --passwd option was
set before the command option:

@tepitzin:~ $ boinccmd --passwd foo --get_disk_usage && boinccmd --get_state --passwd foo
======== Disk usage ========
total: 55000715264.000000
free: 37275279360.000000
Authorization failure: -155


I'm downgrading the severity to Important, I'll keep trying to reproduce the
bug.


Cheers
