Description Marek Grac 2009-02-26 11:32:11 UTC
Several of new fencing agent does not work when bad options are entered (bad password, non-existent outlet number, ...). This is not a problem. Unfortunately python exceptions are thrown and we don't care about catching them. Such output is very usefull for debugging (as people tends to send it) but it will be better if the user will see that the error is in the input data
