Bug#562022: [boinc-client] Doesn't work (Auth failure)
severity 562022 important tag 562022 + unreproducible thanks Hi Vedran, and thanks for your bug report, On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 01:18:14AM +0100, Vedran Furač wrote: % boinccmd --get_state Authorization failure: -155 # cd /etc/boinc-client # echo test gui_rpc_auth.cfg # boinccmd --get_state --passwd test 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.» Authorization failure: -155 So either boinc is broken or its documentation is. Boinc-manager doesn't work either (gets disconnected immediately after starting). 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: 55000715264.00 free: 37275279360.00 Authorization failure: -155 I'm downgrading the severity to Important, I'll keep trying to reproduce the bug.

I don't have time for more testing now, but it works if i start boinc (the daemon) as root: # boinc --check_all_logins --redirectio --dir /var/lib/boinc-client % boinccmd --get_disk_usage Disk usage total: 29526847488.00 free: 20935532544.00 Regards, Vedran -- http://vedranf.net | a8e7a7783ca0d460fee090cc584adc12 attachment: vedran_furac.vcf
