mongos> db.auth("x", "x")

mongos> db.runCommand({renameCollection: "test.x", to: "test.y"})
{ "ok" : 1 }

      The final command above should give the error "renameCollection may only be run against the admin database."

      The renameCollection command must be run on the admin database through mongod. When connected to mongos, however, the renameCollection command may be run on any database. We should make this consistent, probably by making it so that even on mongos renameCollection must be run on the admin database.
