---------------------------------------
It might be good if the browser can show the 'permission denied" message when a
user tries to browse a directory or read the content of a file when the user
does not the permission to do so.
> dfs web interfaces should run as a configurable user account

> Currently, web interfaces (i.e. browseDirectory.jsp, browseBlock.jsp, etc.)
> run in each Datanode. The web interfaces use the corresponding Datanode
> account (the user who ever started the Datanode) to connect to Namenode.
> Usually, Datanodes are started by administrators. As a consequence, the web
> interfaces have administrator access, which is undesirable. The web
> interfaces account should be configurable.
