beegfs-check-servers sees TCP or RDMA depending on user

[Andrew Smith]

I am using a newly installed BeeGFS version  7.4.5

When I run 'beegfs-check-servers' as a user, I see "protocol: TCP" for the metadata/storage servers. When I run the same program as root, I see RDMA.

I feel like this is normal. Performance seems solid. Am I just missing something?

Andy
