Does u9fs (which I have used extensively for many years :-|) actually
provide proper authentication?  I never tought of it and I will try
the following experiment once my morning coffee actually takes hold:

 *	connect to a U9FS server from a compute server
 *	cpu to the compute server as a different user
 *	find out what identity is seen on the Unix server when (if)
	accessing the file system.
