Hi,

I have a file server which posts a file descriptor in /srv
the idea is that this will be run from cpurc so httpd can
mount it.

In my naive implementation the server runs as bootes so it
has different access to files to the httpd which normally runs
as none.

I can just call becomenone() in the start of the server but is
there a better (but not too complex) way to do this using the
username presented to attach so my server gets the apropriate
permissions no matter who mounts it.
