New issue 318 by msg7...@gmail.com: memcached daemon priviliges (->nobody)
and socket
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=318

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.# memcached -s /var/run/m.sock -u nobody -d
2.# memcached -s /var/run/m.sock -u root -d
where /var/run belongs to root:root 0755

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Typically a daemon should create socket first and then switch to nobody
user. But here somehow it cannot create the sock unless -u root is
specified.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
memcached-1.4.13-0.2 i386 from official repository, Debian wheezy

Please provide any additional information below.
Listening to below port 1024 is also affected by the user setting
