I've updated Fedora RPMs to boinc 7.2.33 and now a user is reporting that can't connect to client using boinc manager.
I've verified that using 'localhost' as target it doesn't work, however using '127.0.0.1' does work.
If I link the 'gui_rpc_auth.cfg' file to my user home directory it works.

I don't think to a network configuration problem as downgrading to 7.0.65 it works again. Someone on distributions other than Fedora can confirm this?

Thank you
