Log Message: ----------- Don't require root privileges unless necessary
On Linux, if /proc/sys/net/core/[rw]mem_max are set to at least 8388608 (KNET_RING_RCVBUFF), setting the socket buffer sizes doesn't require root privileges.
FreeBSD uses the kern.ipc.maxsockbuf sysctl MIB variable for capping user buffer requests.
Linux doubles the requested amount for administrative overhead, but FreeBSD does not, so we can't be too strict when checking the results.
