When the Fossil server is started with "fossil ui path/to/repo &", Fossil
(a) accepts only connections from localhost, and (b) assumes the user who
started the server is the is the user making the ticket update (or other
web UI operation).

(This behavior of Fossil can be disabled, but is the "out of the box"
default.)
