At the labs, within an authentication domain, they use the same owner
on all file systems and cpu servers, there's not much reason to do
differently.

It also makes restarting when some disaster happens a little more
robust.  If a cpu server has the same owner/key as the file server
then, should there be no auth server running, it can craft its own
ticket to authenticate the attach.  There's a hack in the code to
do that.  That way, all the cpu servers can also be diskless.
