2. What is the nature and description of the request?

rhn-channel should emit cogent error message rather than backtrace when encountering a bad username or passwd.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

A concise cogent error message is more meaningful and less confusing than a backtrace to an end user.

Red Hat make appropriate code updates to the rhn-channel command.

5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red
Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully
implemented.

Run rhn-channel with a bad username or password.

6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?

Not that I know of.

6.2
