That appears to be instructions on how to temporarily, in code, act as
another user.  My problem is that when I create a Bash shell, it
accesses network drives as the wrong user.  It may be possible for me to
write a version of Bash that switches to the right (default) user using
that information, but why is it *necessary*?  Local drives are accessed
fine.
