[Bug 1248715] Re: Change /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg to 0644

[Githlar]

You may be correct about the blank default password, however I was under
the impression that the reason the file was blank was because a user
running boincmgr wouldn't be able to write gui_rpc_auth.cfg as it's set
to root perms.

No, this bug is not fixed. With the default permissions of /etc/boinc-
client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg (0640) the manager starts up and simply doesn't
connect to the running boinc-client. Closing boincmgr, stopping boinc-
client, changing the permissions of /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
to 0644 and restarting the client and manager makes it work.

In my tests I cleared the value I had stored in gui_rpc_auth.xml as it
was in the default installation and the case still holds.
