1) Message boards : BOINC client : Boincmgr auto-launches boinc client (Message 90362)

How can I prevent boincmgr from auto-launching the client? Apparently this behavior has been around for a long time (on Linux), but for some reason I have never experienced it before. I'm running the client as a service with its own user. Starting it as my UI user just because it happens to be stopped messes up things (e.g. reinitializes all projects in my personal home directory).

I'm running into the same problem as described in this thread:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=3540

* client is running (verified using ps)
* nothing interesting in boinc log
* boinccmd can connect to localhost
* boincmgr can't
* password is correct (even tried manual typing)
* boincmgr has read access to gui_rpc_auth.cfg (password is autoselected when connecting to localhost)
* networking is correctly set up (checked using normal and reverse lookups with dig)
* even that odd "can't determine fully-qualified domain name" disappeared after adding localhost.localdomain to /etc/hosts, yet still no improvement in connecting.
