Binary package hint: boinc-manager

Fowarding bug from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/347651

Right after installing boinc-client and boinc-manager, running boinccmd from a 
terminal makes it always say "Authentication failure", unless --passwd is given 
explicitly. Running boincmgr from a terminal (instead of the program launcher 
menu) make it unable to connect too, unless the password is given in the 
Connect to computer dialog.

Both of these problems go away if the commands are run from 
/var/lib/boinc-client or /etc/boinc-client, which is what the BOINC Manager 
program launcher does.

I think both programs should be modified to look in 
/etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg. Currently, they only look in the current 
directory.
