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

[Githlar]

Sorry to hammer this so many times so quickly. The fact of the matter is
that boincmgr running as an arbitrary user needs to be able to read that
gui_rpc_auth.xml, otherwise it won't/can't connect. It's very possible
that things could have changed since that bug report 6 years go so that
the client can't connect if it can't read the file. That does, indeed,
seem to be the case. I attempted to read the boinc source so I could
build a custom version that defaults --datadir to /usr/lib/boinc-client,
but wasn't even able to figure that one out. So, I don't necessarily
know that I'd even be able to find this aspect in the code to be able to
determine if that is, in fact, the case.
