Is it a bad idea to make adm the auth server owner?

On ken's old file server and kfs, the user "adm" was quite
special.  One couldn't authenticate to the file server as
"adm" for example.  In that case, I think it would be a
bad idea.

On fossil, I don't think that there's anything special about
"adm".  Jmk or rsc may correct me.

adm is not really special in fossil, it's the owner of various
files created internally (e.g. snapshots). however, best not to use
it for general things, it may become more special over time as
we fix problems, add fetures, bugs, etc.
