Don't forget that ownership and permission are quite useful even if
only one user is working on the machine, but in different guises ---
root and his normal self being the most obvious ones. And becomes
even more valuable once several users are using the machine
consecutively...
Ownership and permission are some of the things I miss most under DOS.
