It turns out it was my fault. I had for some unknown reason a gui_rpc_auth.cfg with a password in my home directory which was used to connect to the client (which had no password) automatically. After removing this the Manager works as expected. The manager always looks in the current working directory for this file which comes in handy if you manage several clients on remote hosts and they don't share a password. Russel: please check if you by accident somehow have a gui_rpc_auth.cfg in your working directory when you execute boincmgr. I tried to find out why there is no message popping up although it is specified in the code and it seems that the notification part was only implemented for Windows and Mac but not Linux.
