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.
