First, the moderator (Scott?) might want to look into why this

Anyhow, despite the documentation, both kfs and the file server
allow chown via wstat if in you've done 'kfscmd allow' or by booting
the file server in insecure mode, respectively. (For normal operation,
the documentation is correct.)
That's how the install procedure sets up the owners correctly initially.
As for u9fs, it looks like it should work but obviously doesn't.

The install procedure (/sys/lib/pcdist/src/build.c) stats the
source file and then wstats the dest file, so you should be checking the
chown call in rwstat(), not the fchown's in rcreate().

Right. You're looking at the create calls, which don't do the setting
of other owners.
