Using MAAS from the testing PPA.
Since deployment of maas-provision I had been unable to maas-import-isos, 'sudo cobbler list', or add a node, with these operations returning 'login failed':
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "<class 'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'>:'login failed'">

After a *lot* of trial and failure, I eventually quoted the password for Cobbler in /etc/maas/pserv.yaml. After restarting the services, all was well.
I am not sure this happens all the times; I understand Diogo reinstalled without issues on the QA lab.
