Hello,

I have a question.
In Plan9, we have a rule: "everyone can become none."
However user none plays important role for Internet service.
What's wrong if we replace the rule by the following ?

"Only host owner can become none."

Thanks,

Kenji Arisawa

Off hand, I can't thing of anything that would break.  In security,
less priviledge is always better.  I'll change it on our syystems
and see if it does break anything.
