Hi Gary,

I have an answer to one of your questions:

Here is the method_context.  The lms daemon needs no additional 
privileges beyond opening the /dev/heci device:
 
           <method_context>
                       <method_credential
                               user='root'
                               group='root'
                               limit_privileges=':default'
                               privileges='basic'
                       />
               </method_context>
