FYI

bill and trog are lifted from the names the dossrv file system generates,
I assume bill is Bill Gates and trog is from the film [1], dos and by
association cifs use old file structures which live under a rock.

I needed a last modifier name and chose boyd as a little tribute to him,
a man who gave me many a guilty chuckle over the years. He lives on
in plan9 in some dusty corners (mainly in fortunes).
