actually, i'm fairly sure you should be able to do this, as the
terminal has no idea of the identity of the person at the cpu end of
the connection - it just sees the id that exportfs is running as.

for example, try:

	echo foo > /mnt/term/tmp/bar

and you should find that the new file is owned by the terminal owner,
not by the id you've cpu'd as.

to get that kind of behaviour you'd have to reattach; that's the point
of $home/lib/namespace.

  cheers,
