Ummm.... @p{par}

When you run something like:  
Code:
bitcoind getinfo
 @p{brk}
... bitcoind creates a network connection to localhost:rpcport and talks to the running bitcoind process via the JSON-RPC protocol. @p{par}

So it doesn't matter what user the 
Code:
bitcoind getinfo
 process is running as, what matters is securing access to the JSON-RPC network port, keeping the rpcpassword a secret, and preventing attackers from getting in and copying wallet.dat. @p{brk}
