Jakob Homan commented on HDFS-1326:
-----------------------------------

This is for those for whom the jsvc solution doesn't work, as they have access 
to other methods of securing and verifying that the process running on the 
datanodes' non-RPC ports really is the datanode.  Some options that were 
brought up on 1150 including Solaris'  capabilities to grant user access to 
privileged ports, or SELinux's ability to restrict who can bind to high ports.  
I opened this so we can make sure whatever we come up with will work reasonably 
for as many users as possible.  Also, it would be good to maybe get HADOOP-6822 
and HADOOP-6823 in some form so that Ops can see what method is running on 
their cluster.

> methods than jsvc to secure their ports.
