It is a miss-feature. The assumption is that failures are transient and that the client should retry indefinitely. After all, your client might have correct credentials and the server's configuration may be wrong. :) > Or is there another method to detect that a connection has > failed because of authentication? You can supply a false wait option and then test yourself for a successful connection. There's also a timeout option, but it doesn't work as most people would suspect. That could easily be called a bug.
