<li>Starting with BOINC version 6.7, a default screenaver graphics application
is provided with BOINC. The screensaver (now more properly called the
<b>screensaver coordinator</b>) runs the default graphics alternating with science
graphics applications according to a schedule set by the data file ss-config.xml.
The default graphics are run also when no science graphics are available, such as
when BOINC is suspended. The default graphics executable has the same permissions
as the BOINC Manager. This gives it access to the RPC password file and so to all
GUI RPCs, but allows the screensaver coordinator to kill it when appropriate.
<li>BOINC Client sets its umask to 006 to hide account keys from unauthorized
users. This means that third-party add-ons cannot read BOINC data files; they
must use GUI RPCs to access BOINC Data.
