When I run that I can't get it to successfully conned to my builder.

Is there a way to set the password? I type in the name of my builder,
and when I try and connect I get an error in the master log: 
2004/01/09 11:04 MST [Broker,3,127.0.0.1] Peer will receive following PB traceback:
2004/01/09 11:04 MST [Broker,3,127.0.0.1] Failure: twisted.cred.error.UnauthorizedLogin: 

Thanks,
