in practice, it often works out this way.  especially because the file server
typically drops a console that allows even to put the file system into allow mode.

but it doesn't have to be this way.  strictly speaking, the hostowner has
no special rights at all.  and the file system is not necessarly co-located on
your cpu server.  this is the difference between eve and root on unix.

one does not have to put eve in adm or especially sys.  in fact, i think this
makes one's system significantly less secure.
