>>basic.

sorry, i ought to have added that #c/user changes per-process data,
not per-namespace data,
so it changes the data for the echo process, not for the rc.

/sys/src/9/port/auth.c:/^userwrite

userwrite(char *a, int n)
{
	if(n!=4 || strncmp(a, "none", 4)!=0)
		error(Eperm);
	kstrdup(&up->user, "none");	/* note use of up-> */
	up->basepri = PriNormal;
	return n;
}
