You misunderstand. When the user successfully authenticates aquarela changes the owner of the process to the authenticated user so it can read and write only those files that that plan9 user can read and write. Aquarela must be envoked as bootes as only bootes has the rights to become any user. see /sys/src/cmd/aquarela/smbcomsessionsetupandx.c:137 -Steve
