Hei,

Im trying to get BOINC working but the BOINC Manager is not able to connect to the client. When i try to run get_state command:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ boinccmd --get_state
Authorization failure: -155

Checking the service status:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client status
● boinc-client.service - LSB: BOINC core client
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/boinc-client)
   Active: active (running) since Sat 2016-04-23 13:07:38 UTC; 2min 34s ago
  Process: 1698 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/boinc-client stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 1728 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/boinc-client start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

           └─1734 /usr/bin/boinc --check_all_logins --redirectio --dir /var/lib/boinc-client

Apr 23 13:07:38 raspberrypi boinc-client[1728]: Starting BOINC core client: boinc.

So it seems the client is actually running.. but why cant the manager connect to it?

Set a password in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file, make sure you allow the boinc and boinc-manager binaries to pass through the firewall on TCP 31416, or else start BOINC with boinc --gui_rpc_auth {port number}, where {port number} is the port you want BOINC to communicate on.
