Hi,

The webrev thread for upgrading memcached 1.2.5 to 1.4.1 turned into a 
discussion if we should use "-u" on the command line or 
method_credentials in the SMF in order to specify the user to run as.

I agree that using method_credentials (username and privileges) is the 
most secure way to do it, but it is also quite a big task to do (and not 
part of the initial task). Before we can do this we need to:

* Figure out what privileges we may need for each option
* Document the relationship between the options and the privilege needed
* Write a transition guide for existing users

Please file a bug report / RFE for this issue, and we'll look at it.

Apart from the issue above, are there any other comments to the web 
review at:

Cheers,

Trond
