I'm not sure if there is a good solution here, but I'm uncomfortable with using uid=0 as the default. I'm not sure if there is a default uid for nobody, but anything is probably better than 0. Looks like nfsnobody is 65534, we could use that - even if only as a marker for the server to map it to nobody on the target system? What do you think?
Particularly with attach-per-user, we probably need to look at interacting with idmapd or create our own variant real soon.
