Comment(by Sebastian):

 Replying to [ticket:2659 mikeperry]:
 > 2. Create a 'Least Privilege' Control Port that does not require
 authentication, that implements a safe subset of the Tor control port,
 including SIGNAL NEWNYM.

 Executing newnym commands without authentication doesn't sound very safe.
