Presumably the rabbitmqctl part of that is working only if the client
has the correct Erlang-level credentials and can connect to the broker's
Erlang ports. In other words, this is quite different from talking AMQP 
and requires administrative access to the broker.

That should only close the *channel*, not the connection. And channel
creation/destruction in rabbit is quite cheap.
