      Start a mongod with auth.

      ./mongod --auth

      Start a shell, connected to that mongod.

      ./mongo

      Expected behavior, unspecified.

      Actual behavior:

      $ ./mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.3.2-pre-
connecting to: test
Wed Jan  2 13:21:55.182 exec error: src/mongo/shell/utils.js:1595 don't know how to show [startupWarnings]
throw "don't know how to show [" + what + "]";
                                        ^

      When you connect a shell to a mongod with access control (--auth) enabled, you get an ugly error message because the shell is not yet authorized to fetch the startup warning messages from the server.

      The shell should probably print nothing at all if it isn't authorized.
