Hmmm, I don't have 2.0.7 on my machines anymore, but I tested that back in
early 2000, I believe, when I was writing Special Edition, Using Samba.

It does work on 2.2.0 (CVS) that I currently use.

Change the envvar to something like USER, which should show up as ROOT ...

This will help us figure out if the mechanism is not working or the envvar
does not exist.
