Description

The Mesos master sends a ShutdownMessage to an agent if there is an authentication or an authorization error during agent registration.
 
Upon receipt of this message, the agent kills alls its tasks and commits suicide. This means that transient auth errors can lead to whole agents being killed along with it's tasks.

I think the master should stop sending the ShutdownMessage in these cases, or at least let the agent retry the registration a few times before asking it to shutdown.
