Bug#562022: [boinc-client] Doesn't work (Auth failure)

Package: boinc-client
Version: 6.10.17+dfsg-2
Severity: grave

Freshly installed boinc-client:

% boinccmd --get_state
Authorization failure: -155

...reading README.Debian, googling a bit...

# cd /etc/boinc-client
# echo test > gui_rpc_auth.cfg
# boinccmd --get_state --passwd test

Authorization failure: -155

So either boinc is broken or its documentation is. Boinc-manager doesn't
work either (gets disconnected immediately after starting).

Regards,
Vedran
