Comment #8 on issue 231 by [email protected]: SASL authentication not working on reboot
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=231
I have no idea what's going on here; is it possible your systems are actually starting memcached in different ways when doing it from boot than via init?
sasl initialization happens before daemonization, so nothing about memcached itself should be different either way.
