Which kind of defeats the whole thing of having per FS locatedbs ... and
is a temptation for admins to change it to nobody:nobody and give away
info easily without fully recognizing the security problem.

However, I see the value for those 0.01% users using clustered file
systems. So, if we stop talking about net FSs and instead we talk about
SANs and GFS/GPFS/Lustre/OCFS2/whatever, I think it makes more sense :)

Simo.
