unable to authenticate using auth_file plugin from command line

[Joe Daly]

I basically ran the auth_file/tests/t/basic.test using the drizzle client. I was not able to connect using a password on the command line, however I was able to connect using a password if I did not specify a password arg, just put --password. Heres my setup and tests:

* Started the Server
jdaly@rx7:~/drizzle/repos/scoreboard_user_stats/tests> ../drizzled/drizzled --no-defaults --basedir=$PWD --datadir=$PWD/var --plugin-add=auth_file --auth-file-users=/home/jdaly/users.out

* My authentication file
jdaly@rx7:~> cat users.out
root
auth_file
auth_file_password:test_password
jdaly@rx7:~>

* Tried to connect as auth_file that works
jdaly@rx7:~/drizzle/repos/scoreboard_user_stats/tests> ../client/drizzle --user=auth_file

* Tried to connect as auth_file_password that didnt work it should have.

jdaly@rx7:~/drizzle/repos/scoreboard_user_stats/tests> ../client/drizzle --user=auth_file_password --password=test_password
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'auth_file_password'@'::1' (using password: YES)
jdaly@rx7:~/drizzle/repos/scoreboard_user_stats/tests>

* Tried to connect as auth_file_password not specifying the password arg on the command line that worked, I also tried a couple bad passwords and no password those did not work, so it appears there is probably some command line processing going wrong.

jdaly@rx7:~/drizzle/repos/scoreboard_user_stats/tests> ../client/drizzle --user=auth_file_password --password
Enter password: *************
