Description

If you are running JMX authentication, and don't want to run cassandra as root, you need to ensure that JMX auth file is owned by cassandra user. This is best if, then the JMX auth file is setup not in the system location. To aid in this, would be helpful to have cassandra-env.sh have at least a commented out line that shows a suggestion for this.
