It looks like chown.  That one always suprises me even though I've hit
it a number of times.  I think this is because you can't safely do
anything involving user names before you have working directory services
and you can't be sure you have those before you have user.  Hmm, I
wonder what happens if you try to use chown when you have nss configured
to use a directory, but don't have /usr mountd.
