Hi!
Just a couple of clarifications...

No. TCP/IP only. We removed unix sockets already.
TCP/IP -> done
UDP -> I have a very old patch I wrote for small scale device drivers.
It it incredibly useful for logging. I may include this at some point.
(It is a write/update/delete protocol only).
Unix Sockets -> This was pulled because it was messy in the code. At
some point in the future it may be possible to cleanly add this back.
The mechanics of making it work is more difficult then the "making the
server listen".
3 - Permissions similar to MySQL, but kept a bit more basic, like
MySQL 3 was.
Privileges will be built out as plugins. Authorization to the
server is
built in as a PAM plugin already, with the possibility, of course, of
additional plugins (see plugins/pam_auth/*)
We do authentication at the moment, not authorization. While I know
how to do authentication with PAM, I do not know how to do
authorization (which is a matter of mapping out SQL_COM* and other
bits to another system). I would happily add this back if someone can
spend the time with me to explain how it works under PAM/LDAP. On the
Drizzle side of things, the code is about 30 lines at most.
4 - Support for TCP WRAPPERs fpr security if remoting is in drizzle.
As a plugin if someone writes one. :) (hint, hint...)

Cheers,
-Brian
