Hello,
I've used GNU crypto in a project to monitore application via JMX (with SASL Plain authentication)

I've found a problem in gnu.crypto.sasl.plain.PasswordFile class.
The readPasswd method doesn't close the buffered reader after getting passwords.
So after a lot of times, I have "too many open files" exception ...

To fix it :

BufferedReader din = null;
try {
    din = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
    ...
} finally {
    // BF 56160 : close the BufferedReader
    if (din != null) {
        din.close();
    }
}


Best regards,

Julien Molina
