| As for Memcached, if you enable SASL, text telnet commands will no longer work as there is no security mechanism in telnet. The client program ''memcapable'' will fail all tests as it does not properly handle SASL. If you wish to use this program to validate functionality, a customized version of the program is available in the distribution and can be built using instructions specified in the README. | As for Memcached, if you enable SASL, text telnet commands will no longer work as there is no security mechanism in telnet.
