Description:   Opened: 2006-02-06 15:42 0000 
With the current version of boinc, I no longer get a connection to the running
boinc client by executing boinc_gui. Instead I get an error message: "The
passwort you have provided is incorrect, please try again".

I have configured no password, and I would not know how to do this.

"-allow_remote_gui_rpc" is the only command line argument to boinc_client.

Ethereal tells me that the two processes were indeed communicating over TCP
port 1043. I can attach the TCP stream if that would be of any use, but it
really looks like a failed authentication.

boinc_gui worked in previous versions of boinc, perhaps two months ago.

kboincspy gets a lot of unauthorized messages over the TCP connection as well,
but emits no error message to the user. And it can display at least some
information.

I found the password contained in /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
This file seems to be randomly created by boinc_client, not the ebuild.
Maybe an einfo in the ebuild would help.

I agree, einfo added. Sorry about the delay - real life is really hectic at the
moment.
