Description of problem: Sometimes automate scripts written by customers put Drb and other invalid objects into the database. This causes stack traces when updating passwords using the fix_auth. tool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.6 How reproducible: It is tricky to get this data into the database, but once it is in there, we are not able to get out of the situation. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write an automate script that puts a drb or Vm object into tasks 2. Run fix_auth.rb 3. Actual results: Stacktrace that does not tell you how to fix it. Expected results: Optimally, the invalid objects would just display a warning. Realistically, display an error message that gives users enough information to fix the error.
