How can i store host/password combinations in boinc-manger? Everytime i want to connect to my running boinc-client on localhost, i first get the message "The password you have provided is incorrect, please try again." and then i have to extract the password from $boincdir/gui_rpc_auth.cfg and use that password to connect to my boinc_client.

Any ideas?

You can type in your password into the gui_rpc_auth.cfg. If you wan't no password, enter a single CR Sign (=Return/Enter) into this file.

It is not posible to store host/password conbination within the boincmanager.

Thanks. That helped.

But it would be a nice feature, BTW.

In addition to the previous answers and because your solely on Linux you should have a look at boincphpgui
It works in your web browser and you can create a bookmark for each of your machines.
It requires a web server and php though.
