Comment 6 for bug 298107

For the first part of the report, as I said: you aren't supposed to run 'boinc', it's already running (starts on boot), and you can't have multiple instances running at the same time. And you'd cause big problems if you stop the current instance and run it as ~$ boinc, since that will fill your home directory with files related to BOINC operations, and form a BOINC environment separate from the one in /var/lib/boinc-client. So, never run 'boinc' by hand.

However I didn't read the whole report carefully. The authentication problems really do exist. I opened #347651 giving a suggestion that, I think, will finally get rid of the problem.
