Description Lubos Trilety 2010-07-08 07:48:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Any of wallaby tools from package 'wallaby-utils' needs correct user login and password. Problem is when the bad credentials are used. The tool tries to use them indefinitely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wallaby-utils-0.6.1-2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run wallaby-inventory with bad credentials
  
Actual results:
The tool attempts to use the bad credentials indefinitely
The tool repeat the same message over and over again
'warning Broker closed connection: 320, connection-forced: Authentication failed'

Expected results:
After three or defined number of attempts the tool stops running
Comment 1 Will Benton 2010-08-25 23:03:48 UTC 
There is a workaround for this issue in 0.9.6; the tools will time out after 15 seconds if they cannot connect to a broker.
