that comment is bogus - having some privileges doesn't make this 
options 'safe', it's the other way round - we require this privilege 
because the options are not safe. the check call itself and the messages 
below are already very clear, I don't think we need a comment here at 
all? but if you think we do, a simple 

# SuperUser always OK

like for root above would suffice..

return if $rpcenv...
