This is where you'll start seeing hostfs permissions break down
If you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and user's maildir is a hostfs
mount, that email will end up being owned by benedict. The host is
ultimately in charge of the permissions, and it sees the files being
created by a process owned by benedict.
hostfs is usable for personal UMLs, but once you have multiple users
within a UML using hostfs, you'll start seeing problems from this.
