Change /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg to 0644

In my previous comment, I was refering to boinc *client*, not manager.
Sorry about the confusion
The manager does not, and should not, read /etc/boinc-
client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg at all.
For local connections, boinc-client does not require password, so

randomly generated password by boincmgr on first start ?
IIRC, this is windows-only behavior. In Debian/Ubuntu, the default
password is blank, /etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg is created by
