Machine trust accounts are users, in exactly the same way all other
accounts are.  They can own files, and in the future, we need to
seteuid() to them.  In particular, they must have independent sids,
which means they must have independent UIDs.

You cannot do a normal NTLM login as a machine trust account, but you
can use Kerberos, in an Active Directory environment.
